What are the differences and similarities in meiosis and mitosis?​

Explanation:

Mitosis produces two cells from one parent using one division event. But meiosis produces four new child cells with two divisions, each of which has half the genetic material of its parent. Mitosis takes place all over the body, while meiosis only takes place in the sex organs and produces sex cells.

ANSWER:

DIFFERENCES:–

[i] In mitosis, it occurs in all organisms, except viruses but in meiosis it occurs only in animals, plants, and fungi.

[ii] In mitosis cells it produces creates body/somatic but in meiosis cells creates germ/sex cells.

[iii] In mitosis prophase is short but in meiosis prophase I is longer.

SIMILARITIES:–

[i] Mitosis and meiosis take place in the cell nuclei.

[ii] Both involve cell division.

[iii] Both the processes occur in the M-phase of the cell cycle.

[iv] In both cycles, the stages are common – metaphase, anaphase, telophase and prophase.

[v] Synthesis of DNA occurs in both.

the cell cycle is the final answer! : )
