Comparing Meiosis (“Special” Cell Division) to Mitosis (“Regular” Cell Division)
Directions: Complete the chart below using your notes or textbook.
MITOSIS
Does the cell have interphase—
(does it copy all its DNA)—before
each process occurs?
Summarize the overall purpose or
goal of each process.
How many stages to each process
are there? List / name each stage.
In an animal, where would we find
cells that undergo each process?
In a plant, where would we find
cells that undergo each process?
Does each process change the
number of chromosomes per cell?
If so, how?
How many daughter cells does
each process make?
How similar are the daughter cells
each process makes?
When, in a human’s life, do the
cells start to have each process?
