Here’s a comparison of mitosis and meiosis based on the statements you provided:
| | Mitosis | Meiosis | |--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | The type of cell division that produces gametes | No | Yes | | The type of cell division that produces body cells | Yes | No | | Results in 2 diploid cells | Yes | No |
Additional Details:
-
Mitosis:
- Produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.
- Involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
-
Meiosis:
- Produces four genetically diverse haploid gametes.
- Involved in sexual reproduction, forming sperm and egg cells.
Would you like to know more about either of these processes?
