Although both the mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes, they also have distict characteristics. explain the main differences between these two processes and what types of daughter cells are produced by each.

Both mitosis and meiosis are the types of cell division but they show contrasting features as :

1. Mitosis division is divided into one phase whereas meiosis has two phases-meiosis I and II.

2. Each phase of mitosis is divided into -prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis while meiosis into ten stages- Prophase I,II, metaphase I,II, anaphse I,II,  telophase I, II and cytokinesis I,II.

3. Mitosis produces two daughter cells while meiosis produces four daughter cells.

4. Mitosis produces cells with same genetic material while meiosis produces cells with variations in genetic material.

5. Mitotic maintains its ploidy whereas meiosis produces cells with half the number of chromosomes.

6. Mitosis is involved in the process responsible for growth and repair while meiosis produces gametes.

7. Mitosis is asexual type of reproduction while meiosis is involved in sexual mode of reproduction.

choices:

a. g2. b. g1. c. m

cell division has two checkpoints namely, g1

checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. the checkpoint which determines if

division has properly occurred is the g1 checkpoint. at this point, is a damage

in the dna is detected or  the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is

stopped in g1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.
