How does mitosis differ from meiosis?
What will be an ideal response?
All body cells that divide, except those destined to be gametes, use mitosis to replicate the set of chromosomes and pass a complete diploid set of chromosomes (23 pairs, total of 46 for humans) to each daughter cell. In meiosis, each daughter cell receives half that many chromosomes, only one from each pair (23 chromosomes), the haploid complement. Meiosis occurs in two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II, whereas mitosis occurs in a single stage. In meiosis I, the homologous pairs stick to each other in synapsis, giving the process of gene exchange to scramble the genome as a tetrad. In meiosis II, each dyad is separated, leading to another pair of daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes.
