What is mitosis?

  • Nuclear division which gives rise to genetically identical cells

New cards

State the process of mitosis

1. Duplication & Single Division: chromosomes copy once before the cell undergoes one single cell division

2. Equal Distribution: One copy of each chromosome goes to each new cell, keeping the chromosome number exactly the same as the parent cell

3. Final Outcome: Produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells

What is meiosis?

  • Nuclear division which gives rise to genetically different cells

New cards

State the process of meiosis

1. Duplication: chromosomes duplicate once before the cell undergoes two cell divisions

2. Two Divisions:

  • Division 1 (Reduction Division): Halves the chromosome count by separating pairs

  • Division 2: Separates the copied strands (chromatids)

3. Final Outcome: One diploid parent cell produces four genetically different haploid daughter cells
