Biology Meiosis

Question 1

Give me some points about meiosis. (6)

Answer 1

Interphase
4 cells produced
Haploid cells produced
2 round of division
produces gametes
results in genetic variation

Question 2

Give me some points about mitosis. (6)

Answer 2

Interphase
2 cells produced
Diploid cells produced
1 round of division
produces body cells
no genetic variation - clones produced

Question 3

Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.

Answer 3

Both have interface for DNA replication. meiosis has 2 round of division which produces 4 daughter cells while mitosis has 1 round of division and only produced 2 daughter cells. meiosis results in genetic variation and the daughter cells are haploid while the cells produced in mitosis are clones (no genetic variation) and those cells are diploid.
