Meiosis Notes

Mitosis

Meiosis

Binary fission

Budding

Diploid cells have two copies of each chromosome, while haploid cells have one copy.

Diploid cells have one copy of each chromosome, while haploid cells have two copies.

Diploid cells are only found in plants, while haploid cells are found in animals.

Diploid cells are sex cells, while haploid cells are body cells.

Produce gametes

Increase genetic diversity

Repair damaged cells

Create identical cells

Metaphase I

Anaphase I

Telophase I

Prophase I

There is no interphase before Meiosis II.

DNA is copied again before Meiosis II.

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during Metaphase II.

Each cell produced is genetically identical to the parent cell.

Three

Four

Mitosis produces four haploid cells, while meiosis produces two diploid cells.

Mitosis produces two diploid cells, while meiosis produces four haploid cells.

Both mitosis and meiosis produce genetically identical cells.

Both mitosis and meiosis result in the same number of chromosomes in daughter cells.

Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, while sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation.

Mitosis occurs only in plants, while sexual reproduction occurs only in animals.

Mitosis produces haploid cells, while sexual reproduction produces diploid cells.

Mitosis requires two parent cells, while sexual reproduction requires one.
