Question

Compare mitosis and meiosis?

Answer 1

I am to compare the division processes of mitosis and meiosis, but I can't seem to find what the answers to some of these are!

Compare:
1. The type of cell involved
2. Number of divisions
3. Number of genetic duplications
4. Number of resulting cells
5. Chromosome # of parent cell

If anyone could help me out with these, I would appreciate it very much!! I have answers for a couple of them, but others I seem to be stumped on...
Thank you!!

Answer 4

Okay now lets head back to the question !

Answer 5

hydrogen how about we give u 2 vidoes showing mitosis and meiosis then i am sure u can answer the questions!!!

Answer 6

In mitosis both haploid and diploid cells are involved like somatic and gametes, but in meiosis only diploid cells are involved like somatic cells

Answer 7

I think @shrutipande9 is ryt, in that way u'll be able to learn better !

Answer 8

The choice is urs @hydrogen !

Answer 9

Hello! Thank you very much for your answers! I really apologize for posting a header on my question, I will make sure not to do this again.

Also, thank you for letting me know about that difference between them. Some of the questions seemed a little confusing to me, and I could not figure out what "number of genetic duplications" meant, as I thought it meant the same thing as "number of resulting cells".

Additionally, I could not figure out what "chromosome # of parent cell" meant. Would there be any possible way to clear these questions' meanings up for me? Thank you so much!

Answer 10

Number of resulting cells mean number of daughter cells produced after the division, in meiosis 4 daughter cells are produced while in mitosis 2 daughter cells are produced

for the terms we can help u out..:)

Answer 12

Thank you for your offer on showing videos as well! I would be interested, if that is a possibility... although, I think the biggest part of my issue is the syntax of the questions that confused me most, I hope the videos would be able to be of help, too.

Answer 14

no of genetic duplication means how many times the DNA is copied and a new copy of it is made

Answer 15

Number of divisions mean how many times the nucleus is divided during the process, for mitosis its one equational division and for meiosis its 1 equational + 1 reductional division(that makes total 2)

Answer 16

Chromosome # or Chromosome Number of parents means ploidy of parental cell, for mitosis it can be diploid(2 sets) or haploid (1 set), for meiosis its always diploid

Answer 17

m i correct for the last one @shrutipande9 ?

Answer 18

yeah u r right abhisar...

Answer 19

Ah, I see... Thank you very much! I thought so about the division, so I really appreciate that being confirmed! It seems I was getting the terms duplication/results confused with each other. Thank you for your answers and all your help!!

Answer 20

Is everything/Terms settled perfectly now @hydrogen ?

Answer 21

glad to know u have got all the answers! and welcome to openstudy!!:D

Answer 22

Yes, I see what you mean now. Thank you both very much for all your help! I appreciate all of your answers!! I'm glad to know I won't mix those two terms up again...
Also, thank you both again for the welcomes!!

Answer 23

\(\Huge\text{Anytime !}\)

Answer 24

Thanx @shrutipande9 @Somy for joining me !

Answer 25

lol no probs @Abhisar :)
