Chapter 26, Problem 1CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between mitosis and meiotic division (keeping in mind that mitosis is similar to the second meiotic division).
Introduction:
Mitosis is the process during which the chromosomes are replicated and separated as two individual nuclei. During mitosis, the number of chromosomes or the ploidy level of chromosomes is maintained as the two cells produced are genetically identical. The cell cycle consists of another type of process known as meiosis, during which the ploidy level of the chromosomesgets reduced.

Students have asked these similar questions
What are the major differences between mitosis and meiosis? Explain this both in terms of the different steps of each event and with regards to the final products of each event. Remember to mention the events which are unique to meiosis and why they are significant.
If a cell with 24 chromosome pairs underwent meiosis, how many total chromatids would be in each gamete?
What are three (3) differences between mitosis and meiosis?
From this point on, meiosis is very similar (but not exactly similar) to what happened in mitosis. How many copies of each type of chromosome end up in the daughter cells of meiosis when it is complete?
