Q4 Science - Mitosis or Meiosis Flashcards
It occurs in somatic cells.
Mitosis
It occurs in germ cells.
Meiosis
Nucleus divides only once.
Mitosis
Nucleus divides twice.
Meiosis
Two identical daughter cells are formed.
Mitosis
Four unidentical daughter cells are formed.
Meiosis
Daughter cells are diploid.
Mitosis
Daughter cells are haploid.
Meiosis
It occurs more frequently.
Mitosis
It occurs less frequently.
Meiosis
Daughter cells form somatic organs.
Mitosis
Daughter cells form gametes.
Meiosis
There is only one prophase, one metaphase, one anaphase and one telophase.
Mitosis
There are two of each phase and five sub-phases in prophase - 1.
Meiosis
Number of chromosomes are not changed in the daughter cells.
Mitosis
Number of chromosomes are reduced to half.
Meiosis
Chromosome number doubles at the beginning of each cell division.
Mitosis
Chromosome number is not doubled. It doubles after the end of first meiotic division.
Meiosis
No crossing over in chromosomes.
Mitosis
Crossing over occurs chromosomes.
Meiosis
Equation division.
Mitosis
Reduction division.
