Mitosis vs Meiosis Flashcards
Makes cells identical to parent cell and identical to each other
Mitosis
Makes 2 diploid(2n) cells with 46 chromosomes
Mitosis
Makes somatic(body) cells
Mitosis
Divides once copies and DNA every time cell divides
Mitosis
Anaphase has no segregation and no independent assortment
Mitosis
chromatids separate in Anaphase 1
Mitosis
Used for growth, repairing injuries, and to replace worn out cells
Mitosis
no genetic recombination
Mitosis
Makes cells different from parent and each other
Meiosis
Makes 4 haploid(1n) cells with half the number of chromosomes
Meiosis
Makes sex cells(gametes)
Meiosis
divides twice, copies DNA once(skips interphase II)
Meiosis
synapsis and crossing over occurs in prophase I
Meiosis
segregation and independent assortment occurs in anaphase 1
Meiosis
homologous partners separate in anaphase I
Meiosis
sister chromatids separate in anaphase II
