Question

directions when you compare and contrast two processes, you tell how they are alike and different. compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. 1. mitosis and meiosis a how are they alike? b how are they different?

Explanation:

A. Similarities: Both are cell - division processes. They both involve chromosome replication before division. Both have phases like prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (though meiosis has two rounds). They are essential for the survival and functioning of organisms.
B. Differences: Mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid daughter cells, used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis results in four genetically diverse haploid daughter cells, used for sexual reproduction. Mitosis has one round of division while meiosis has two rounds (meiosis I and meiosis II). Crossing - over occurs only in meiosis during prophase I, increasing genetic variation.

Answer:

A. Both are cell - division processes, involve chromosome replication, have similar phases, and are vital for organisms.
B. Mitosis gives 2 identical diploid cells for growth/repair/asexual reproduction, one - round division; Meiosis gives 4 diverse haploid cells for sexual reproduction, two - round division, and has crossing - over.
