Cell Division: Meiosis

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Mitosis used by single-celled organisms to reproduce. (Asexual)

Meiosis is used by multi-cellular organisms to reproduce. (sexual)

What is the advantage of Meiosis?

Conclusion:

Genetic diversity-

wide variety of traits

1. What is created from Meiosis?

2. What is the advantage of Meiosis?

3. Meiosis is used in what type of reproduction?

So what happens in Meiosis?

  • In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
  • The two meiotic divisions are known as meiosis I and meiosis II.

What is Meiosis?

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division which reduces the chromosome number by half. This process occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms including animals, plants, and fungi
