(1) Both mitosis and meiosis are processes of cell division that produce daughter cells. The end products of both processes are two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
(2) The processes of mitosis and meiosis are different. Mitosis is a single cell division process that produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is a two-step cell division process that produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Additionally, the daughter cells produced by meiosis are genetically different from the parent cell, while the daughter cells produced by mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell.
(1)How are the processes and end products of mitosis and meiosis similar?
(2) How are the processes and end proucts of mitosis and meiosis different?
