first one to answer gets a burrito!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mitosis produces two cells identical to the parent cell. Meiosis produces four cells that are usually haploid from diploid parent cells. Mitosis is involved with asexual reproduction. Meiosis is always associated with sexual reproduction either before or after sex cell fusion. Both have chromosome replication before the processes begins. Both have similar events prior to nuclear division. Both have the same stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) although some events in the stages meiosis are different from mitosis. Meiosis has two sequential nuclear divisions. Meiosis I first pairs homologous chromosomes and then separates the homologues from each other. During prophase and while the homologues are synapsed, crossing over of chromatids often occurs producing new gene combinations of linked genes. Meiosis II separates the chromatids into daughter cells resulting in four haploid daughter cells. Both have cytokinesis that occurs during telophase. Both use spindle fibers (microtubules) to separate the chromatids from each other. Mitosis and meiosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081101175558AAnivct

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Mitosis and meiosis are the two ways by which cells reproduce. As a result, they share several steps in their respective processes. Meiosis adds another division and a step that mixes the genetic material, but in both cases the cell must duplicate its DNA, pull it apart into two sets, place the sets on each end of itself, and then divide down the middle. Both mitosis and meiosis produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells' genes.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

did i win??? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 similarities are in last paragraph of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mitosis is the reproduction of skin, heart, stomach, cheek, hair etc. cells. These cells are "Autosomal" cells. This is also a form of "Asexual" reproduction, where one organism or cell reproduces itself. Some organisms that reproduce asexually are hydra, bacteria, and single celled organisms.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@PRAETORIAN.10 wheres my burrito -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yo @PRAETORIAN.10 can you just tell me the 2 similarities cause i did not understand what you wrote cause you wrote alot of stuff so just tell me them please and i will give you a medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both have cytokinesis that occurs during telophase. Both use spindle fibers (microtubules) to separate the chromatids from each other. Mitosis and meiosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

but but @KlOwNlOvE dude deserves the medal he replied first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both are processes of reproduction

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

despite cheating by copy and pasting :D

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

but sure i will explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;) atleast i cited my source

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

so if you think about it, both Mito and Meo involve the division of a cell.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

this division is the same

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

now before the division, chromosomes have to be replicated because reasons

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

on that note chromosome numbers are the same as well :D

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

finally in the nuclear envelope (like where homer simpson works)

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

2 sets of these chromosomes are placed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The similarities between mitosis and meiosis are that they are both processes of reproduction. They also both replicate DNA for the daughter cell. Another similarity is the placement of the chromosomes during phase 2.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

dom is trying to steal my thunder :D

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

lol jokes

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i hope one of our explanations makes sense bro
