COMPARING MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS ( Chapter 8. Week 7 Assignment) Mitosis Meiosis One chromosomal duplication One chromosomal duplication One cell division Two cell divisions Number of daughter cells produced Number of chromosomes in the daughter cells (*) How the chromosomes line up during Metaphase Two diploid daughter cells produced Four haploid daughter cells produced 46 chromosomes 23 chromosomes The chromosomes line up in a single file line, a tetrad formation does not occur Genetic relationship of the daughter cell to the parent cell Functions performed in the human body Daughter cells are genetically identical, crossing over or recombination does not occur The chromosomes line up close together and form a tetrad of two sets of siter chromatids Daughter cells are genetically different and diverse, crossing over or genetic recombination does occur The main function preforms by meiosis is the production of gametes, such as eggs and sperm. Number of chromosomal duplications Number of cell divisions The main functions preformed by the human body in mitosis are repair and growth of the organism and the replacement of old cells by new cells. (*) This question refers to the number of chromosomes in general, whether the daughter cells will be diploid (2n) or haploid (n), do not answer with the number of chromosomes in human cells. Humans are only one among the millions of species that can undergo the two processes
