Question

How does meiosis differ from mitosis? Give any five differences.

Accepted Answer

Feature Mitosis Meiosis

Parent cell Mitosis takes place in both haploid and diploid somatic or reproductive parent cell. Meiosis takes place only in diploid reproductive cells.

Feature Mitosis Meiosis

Recombination In mitosis, there is no synapsis and crossing over occur. Complete pairing of homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between them in meiosis.

Feature Mitosis Meiosis

Daughter cell At the end of mitosis, two identical daughter cells are formed which has same chromosome number as their parents. Four haploid daughter cells are formed from the diploid parent.

Feature Mitosis Meiosis

Functions It is involved in the growth, development, repair, and healing. It is involved in sexual reproduction for creating variations by crossing over and independent assortment during anaphase.

Feature Mitosis Meiosis

Occurrence Mitosis is completed only in one stage. Meiosis consists of two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II.Interkinesis is also present in between meiosis.
