DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MITOSIS AND

MEIOSIS

WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS WHICH THEY ARE BOTH TYPES OF CELL
DIVISION
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

A SOMATIC CELL DIVIDES • A REPRODUCTIVE CELL •

ONCE. CYTOKINESIS (THE DIVIDES TWICE.
DIVISION OF THE CYTOKINESIS HAPPENS AT
CYTOPLASM) OCCURS AT THE END OF TELOPHASE I
.THE END OF TELOPHASE .AND TELOPHASE II
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

TWO DAUGHTER CELLS • FOUR DAUGHTER CELLS •

ARE PRODUCED. EACH ARE PRODUCED. EACH CELL
CELL IS DIPLOID IS HAPLOID CONTAINING
CONTAINING THE SAME ONE-HALF THE NUMBER OF
NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES AS THE
.CHROMOSOMES .ORIGINAL CELL
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

THE RESULTING DAUGHTER • THE RESULTING DAUGHTER •

CELLS IN MITOSIS ARE CELLS CONTAIN DIFFERENT
GENETIC CLONES (THEY ARE COMBINATIONS OF GENES.
GENETICALLY IDENTICAL). GENETIC RECOMBINATION
NO RECOMBINATION OR .OCCURS
.CROSSING OVER OCCUR
 MITOSIS
DURING THE FIRST MITOTIC •
STAGE, KNOWN AS PROPHASE,
CHROMATIN CONDENSES INTO
DISCRETE CHROMOSOMES, CELL
SPENDS LESS TIME IN PROPHASE
OF MITOSIS THAN A CELL IN
.PROPHASE I OF MEIOSIS
MEIOSIS
PROPHASE I CONSISTS OF •
FIVE STAGES AND LASTS
LONGER THAN PROPHASE OF
MITOSIS, THESE FIVE STAGES
DO NOT OCCUR IN MITOSIS
AND SPENDS MORE TIME
.THAN PROPHASE OF MITOSIS
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

TETRAD FORMATION DOES • IN PROPHASE I, PAIRS OF •

.NOT OCCUR HOMOLOGOUS
CHROMOSOMES LINE UP
CLOSELY TOGETHER
FORMING WHAT IS CALLED
.A TETRAD
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

SISTER CHROMATIDS ALIGN • TETRADS (HOMOLOGOUS •

.AT THE METAPHASE PLATE CHROMOSOME PAIRS)
ALIGN AT THE METAPHASE
.PLATE IN METAPHASE I
 MITOSIS MEIOSIS

DURING ANAPHASE, SISTER • HOMOLOGOUS •

CHROMATIDS SEPARATE CHROMOSOMES MIGRATE
AND BEGIN MIGRATING TOWARD OPPOSITE POLES OF
CENTROMERE FIRST THE CELL DURING ANAPHASE
TOWARD OPPOSITE POLES I. SISTER CHROMATIDS DO
.OF THE CELL NOT SEPARATE IN ANAPHASE
