Question:

What are the three main differences between meiosis and mitosis

Author: Olive Johnson



Answer:

- Mitosis doesn’t have recombination, so all daughter cells (2) are genetically identical whereas in meiosis daughter cells (4) are all genetically unique - There are two daughter cells after mitosis which are diploid and contain 23 chromosomes wherever after meiosis there are four haploid daughter cells with 23 chromosomes - Homologous pairs synapse in meiosis and not in mitosis
