Transcript Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis

Comparison of Mitosis and
Meiosis
Mitosis
1. Purpose: growth and
repair
2. Division: 1
3. Parent cell: 2n,diploid
4. Daughter cell: 2
2n-identical to parent
cell
5. Somatic cells
Meiosis
1. Purpose: reproduction
2. Division: 2
3. Parent cell: 2n diploid
4. Daughter cells: 4
1n-not identical to
parent cell-called
gametes, germ cells,
sex cells
5. Reproductive cells
Comparison of Mitosis
and Meiosis
Using the chart, illustrate the
comparison of mitosis and meiosis.
Think “pictionary” when you are making
your chart. You can not use any words in
your comparison. It must be colorful
and I have to understand what you are
trying to say or you won’t get full credit.
Worth 20 points.
