List several ways in which meiosis differs from mitosis.

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here's our next question, mitosis and mitosis. Our nuclear division processes that happen during cell division which of the following states their similarity. So let's go back to recall from our content videos. Um the kind of basic overview mitosis symbiosis and this is always something good to kind of have straight in your head because they're popular problems to ask about. So it's always good to have kind of that overview of the two processes to keep them straight in your head. So we'll just kind of do a quick little mitosis versus mitosis here and mitosis are deployed parent cell splits into two identical deployed daughter cells so genetically identical to each other identical to the parent. Just splitting without a change May aosis part of our sexual reproduction. Here we have our deployed parent cell but it splits into four different hap Lloyd daughter selves. So all hap avoid genetically different from each other After the splitting an assortment of the chromosomes from the parent cell. But we're looking for the similarity between these two. So let's look through our choices. Choice A says a number of cells produced. Well that is not the same two verses four. Joyce B says the number of chromosomes contained in each daughter cell. Also not our answer. Since mitosis gives us a deployed daughter cells and mitosis hap Lloyd daughter cells so the cells produced by mitosis have half the number of chromosomes of the cells produced by mitosis. Choice C says the genetic identity of the daughter cells. Also not our answer. Daughter cells mitosis genetically identical daughter cells in mitosis genetically different choice. D. Just got one left the starting parent cell type. And, yes, this is correct, because in each case mitosis and mitosis you started with a deployed parent cell. So mitosis and mitosis, which states their similarity choice D, the starting parent cell type. See you in the next video.
