Chapter 3, Problem 1WYL
What are two ways in which meiosis differs from mitosis?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The two differences between meiosis and mitosis.
Introduction:
Cell division is the process of the formation of daughter cells from the parent cell. Two types of cell divisions are mitosis and meiosis. These cell divisions differ from each other in various ways.
Explanation of Solution
Differences between meiosis and mitosis are as follows:
| No. | Characteristics. | Mitosis. | Meiosis. |
| 1. | Chromosomal number | The chromosomal umber of the parent cell and progeny cell is equal in mitosis | The progeny cell has half the chromosomal number as compared to the parent cell. |
| 2. | Number of daughter cells | Two daughter cells are formed from one parent cell in mitosis. | Four daughter cells are formed at the end of meiosis. |
