Student PPT: Meiosis vs. Mitosis Terminology A chromosome is a long thread-like structure of DNA containing the genetic material of the cell. Haploid is also written as n A haploid cell has ONE set of chromosomes Diploid is also written as 2n A diploid cell has TWO sets of chromosomes Dire...
Meiosis: Half the Chromosomes, Double the Fun Meiosis is similar to mitosis in many ways, but there are a couple of important differences. First of all, even though meiosis starts with a diploid cell (a primary oocyte or primary spermatocyte), its end products are 4 haploid daughter cells...
Haploid and diploid chromosomes (Piture Credit – Ehamberg/Wikimedia Commons) Finally, we need to know the cell organelle which plays an important part in mitosis/meiosis. They are centrosomes. Centrosomes are made up of microtubules andcentrioles. Microtubules form the spindle fibers and centri...
Mitosis vs meiosis -Summary of Differences: 1. Mitosis forms diploid cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent, whereas meiosis forms haploid cells with half the original number of chromosomes. 2. Mitosis produces somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) while meiosis produce...
5.Side by Side Comparison – Mitosis vs Meiosis in Tabular Form 6.Summary What is Mitosis? Mitosis is a cell division that produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. For a haploid parent cell, the daughter cells will be haploid. Similarly, it forms two diploid daugh...
The chromosome number is reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (1n) during this process. Meiosis The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by the letter . . . Meiosis would only be found in these organs: brain & spinal cord ovaries & testes esophagus & colon ligaments & tendons...
Mitosis is cell division that occurs in all somatic or body cells. This results in two diploid daughter cells. Meiosis is also cell division but it has many differences compared to mitosis. Meiosis only occurs in germline cell that give rise to four haploid cells....
Meiosis Cell division of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes. Mitosis See Karyokinesis. Meiosis Diminution; a species of hyperbole, representing a thing as being less than it really is; understatement; see also litotes. Mitosis Cell division in which the nucl...
