Question

can someone tell what's the difference between meiosis and mitosis in cell division, plus what is the meaning of diploid(daughter cells)?

Answer 1

diploid numers is means a full number of chromosomes ,

Answer 2

numbers*

Answer 3

as in 2 chromosomes in one diploid?

Answer 4

yeah, and you cam know more about it here http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/bio%20101/bio%20101%20laboratory/mitosis/mitosis.htm

Answer 5

thx man. :D

Answer 6

women* your welcome :*

Answer 7

Mitosis(1 division); produces 2 exact copies of the daughter cells-diploid(2n) genome number the same as the parental cells.
Meiosis(2 divisions); produces different copies of the daughter cells(gametes-sperm & eggs)- 4 haploid cells(n).

Answer 8

@Xanthe, the "2 exact copies" has anything to do with cloning?

Answer 9

Im not so sure.I dont think so..

Answer 10

Actually Idk:(

Answer 11

its ok thx.

Answer 12

@fird96 I think you can say that too because in mitosis, the daughter cells carry the same genetic copy of one another:)But Imma gg clarify to my teacher tmr n get back to you soon:D

Answer 13

kk thx for your help, :D and sorry for being such a burden. :(

Answer 14

Answer 16

Hey!Took me a long time but I finally asked my teacher.lol^^Here it is:
"Mitosis is not cloning.
Mitosis is used by body cell/ somatic cells for growth and tissue repair.
Cloning is about making several copies of a gene which we desire to study or use for commercial purposes."
Hope this helps!:D
