Mitosis and Meiosis are both processes in cell division. Mitosis starts off with 1 single cell and replicates itself by one parent. Mitosis turn 1 cell into 2 cells and they are genetically identical. Meiosis products are sex cells or sperm and egg. Meiosis is the process of turning 1 cell into 4 cells and they are each genetically diverse or different. Mitosis are diploid which means they have 2 sets of genetic information. Meiosis starts off with sperm and egg being haploid which mean they contain 1 set on chromosomes, once sperm and egg unite, they turn into a diploid organisms. Once Meiosis is complete the genetic material is cut in half, and the result is 4 haploid cells. Mitosis and Meiosis both go through interphase which is growth and DNA replication, and they both go through PMAT which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
In cell biology, mitosis is the part of the cell growth cycle in which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells.
Also a function of cell biology, meiosis is the form of cell division that produces gametes, the cells employed in sexual reproduction. The outcome of this process is that four next-generation cells are produced from one cell rather than two.
Following are some of the differences between these two processes.
In mitosis:
the type of reproduction is asexual.
the number of cell divisions is one.
the mother cells are both haploid and diploid.
the number of daughter cells produced are two diploid.
the process produces every type of cell except sexual reproduction cells.
the process takes place in somatic cells.
In meiosis:
the type of reproduction is sexual.
the number of cell divisions is two.
the mother cells are diploid only.
the number of daughter cells produced are four haploid.
the process produces sexual reproduction cells.
the process takes place in germ cells.
