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...
Meiosis is a type of cell division which occurs during gamete formation. It produces four daughter cells from a parent cell. The diploid parent cell divides into four haploid cells via two major divisions called meiosis I and meiosis II. Moreover, each cell division has four subphases: proph...
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...
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....
These daughter cells are diploid, meaning they have all 23 pairs of chromosomes (2n). Meiosis is the division of reproductive cells and produces four reproductive cells that are genetically different. These cells are haploid and have half the original chromosomes (n)....
