Mitosis and meiosis are processes vital to the survival and reproduction of an organism. What process takes place in meiosis but not mitosis?

1 answer

The process that takes place in meiosis but not mitosis is genetic recombination through crossing over. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of genetic material, resulting in genetic recombination. This process allows for the production of genetically diverse offspring. In contrast, mitosis does not involve genetic recombination and produces genetically identical daughter cells.
