Q

Difference between haploid and diploid

A

Diploid cells have a full set of chromosomes - 2n (body cells)
Haploid cells have half of a full set of chromosomes - n (sex cells)

Q

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

A

Mitosis takes place in somatic cells, involves 1 cell division and produces 2 daughter cells identical to the parent cell and each other

Meiosis takes place in sex cells, involves 2 cell divisions and produces 4 cells - gametes

Q

What is the difference between daughter cells and parent cells?

A

Daughter cells are halpoid and are the cells formed when cells undergo division

Parent cells are diploid and are a source of other cells
