COMPARING MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
Determine whether the following characteristics apply to mitosis, meiosis, or both. Before each
statement, write the words mitosis, meiosis, or both. Then transfer by writing the information
into the Venn Diagram below.
No pairing of homologs occurs
4 daughter cells are produced
Two divisions
Associated with growth, development,
repair of injured or worn out cells
Form of sexual reproduction
No exchange of DNA occurs
Chromosome # is maintained (2n)
Produces somatic cells
Crossing over occurs
Daughter cells are genetically identical to
parent cell
Produces gametes
Asexual reproduction
Involves exchange of DNA
One division
Chromosome number is halved (1n)
2 daughter cells are produced
Replication of chromosomes occur
during interphase
Daughter cells are NOT genetically
identical to parent cell
Homologous chromosomes are
separated during first division
Mitosis
Homologous chromosomes synapse to
create a tetrad
Alike
Meiosis
