Compare the products of mitosis with those of meiosis II.?
104056
The products of mitosis are 2 genetically identical daughter cells and the products of meiosis II 4 genetically dissimilar haploid cells.  Meaning these cells only have half the amount of chromosomes of the parent cell and these chromosomes are genetically unique, even between each other.  Pretty cool huh?  This is the explaination for everyone being genetically unique!

Mitosis is when a cell divides to create two daughter cells that are identical. Meiosis is the process by which eggs and sperm are created. In meiosis a cell divides and each daughter cell has only half the DNA.

Meiosis, as the name implies is a reduction division. That is at the end of it the chromosome number is reduced to half the original number; from diploid to haploid.\nThus, it can occur only in diploid cells, haploid can never undergo meiosis.\nIt occurs during gamete formation, spore formation or zygote germination. It is the nature’s mechanism by means of which the chromosome number and the quantity of DNA remains constant from one generation to the next.\n What happens before meiosis? – Chromosome duplication occurs before the cell begins to divide; the DNA content of the nucleus doubles.\nWhat is produced after the first division? – Two daughter nuclei are produced at the end of it. The chromosome number is reduced to half in each one of them; i.e. they are, now, haploid. But the DNA content is not exactly halved. \nWhat is produced after the second division? - The second meiotic division is the same as mitosis. From two daughter nuclei in the earlier phase four daughter nuclei are produced. The chromosome number is already reduced, now the DNA quantity is also reduced to half of that present in the original parental cell.\nThus the four cells at the end of meiosis are haploid and DNA is also half of the original parental cell. Thus the products are different than the one at the end of mitosis. Besides, the genes are also different and not identical on all the four cells.  \n What can go wrong? – Many things can go wrong and it will be difficult to explain them here.\n1) Chromosome pairs may fail to separate properly, leading to chromosomal imbalance in the resulting cell. This in turn can produce genetic defects or variations in the next generation.

Firstly you should ask the proper ques. The ques. should be like this "What is the difference b/w meosis and mitosis".\n        The answer to your ques. is:-\n       MITOSIS                                       MEOSIS\n* Takes place in somatic                  * Takes place in reproductive\n   cells                                                   cells                                    \n* Produces two cells                         * Produces four haploid cells\n* No crossing over                             * Crossing Over takes place\n*The no. of chromosomes re-           * The no. of chromosomes \n  mains the same after mitosis             is reduced to one-half after\n                                                              meiosis

Mitosis is the splitting of one cell into two daughter cells.  The phases can be summed up into the acronym IPMAT.\n\nI interphase - has a G1 or growth one phase where cellular growth and DNA translation occur.  S or Synthesis phase where DNA is translated assembled and condensed.  G2 or growth two phase where cytoplasmic growth occurs.\n\nP prophase - where DNA starts condensing into chromosomes and centromeres polarise the cell forming spindal fibers.\n\nM metaphase - is when DNA is fully condenced and chromosomes are in equatorial allignment\n\nA anaphase - karyokenesis is complete, new nuclear membranes form and cytokenesis begins furrowing.\n\nT telephase - clevage furrowing completes to initiate a new G1 phase.

It is definitely the chromosomes that divide in both mitosis and meiosis. However, the whole cells divides so # 1 sounds like the right answer. Did you ask in class? I am glad you are asking here , but you really should ask your teacher.

Meiosis: -- One cell becomes 4 cells--There are 4 new "daughter" cells. Each new gamete cell contains only one-half of the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Each sex cell goes through the division process twice in order to have the correct number of cells, and the correct chromosomal information.\n\nMitosis: -- One cell becomes two cells-- The new "daughter" cell has exactly the same number of chromosomes and information as the "parent" cell. 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells.

meiosis - cell divides but chromosomes are not duplicated. the product is two haploid cells with slightly different DNA (due to crossing over of chromosomes when they line up in metaphase)\nmitosis - cell divides into two identical daughter cells. if the mother cell is diploid, the two daughter cells will be too

Mitosis is when a cell divides into to identical daughter cells. They contain the same genome as the parent cell. The only way a daughter cell can be altered is through a mutation of DNA/RNA.

Most mitotic cell divisions do result in daughter cells that are equal in size to the parent.  During interphase, the cellular material, like cytoplasm, is duplicated as well as the genetic material.  This is not the case for meiotic cell divisions, though, which yield cells that are certainly smaller than the parents, and it is not always the case in mitosis, like for example, in the developing blastula.

remember the phases in meiosis (in order) :Prophase, Metaphase, anaphase, telephase (pmat)\nMitosis\nI  INTRODUCTION \n\nMitosis, process in which a cell’s nucleus replicates and divides in preparation for division of the cell. Mitosis results in two cells that are genetically identical, a necessary condition for the normal functioning of virtually all cells. Mitosis is vital for growth; for repair and replacement of damaged or worn out cells; and for asexual reproduction, or reproduction without eggs and sperm.\n\nAll multicellular animals, plants, fungi, and protists, which begin life as single cells, carry out mitosis to develop into complex organisms containing billions of cells. Mitosis continues in full-grown organisms as a means of maintaining the organism—replacing dying skin cells, for example, or repairing damaged muscle cells. In the cells of the adult human body, mitosis occurs about 25 million times per second. Multicellular organisms such as sea stars, sea anemones, fungi, and certain plants rely on mitosis for asexual reproduction at particular stages in their life cycles, and mitosis is the sole mode of reproduction for many single-celled organisms.\n\nII  INTERPHASE \n\nThe life cycle of eukaryotic cells, or cells containing a nucleus, is a continuous process typically divided into three phases for ease of understanding: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Interphase includes three stages, referred to as G1, S and G2. In G1, a newly formed cell synthesizes materials needed for cell growth. In the S stage, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell, is replicated. At this stage, DNA consists of long, thin strands called chromatin. As each strand is replicated, it is linked to its duplicate by a structure known as a centromere. When the S stage is complete, the cell enters a brief stage known as G2, when specialized enzymes correct any errors in the newly synthesized DNA, and proteins involved with the next phase, mitosis, are synthesized. \n\nIII  MITOSIS \n\nMitosis occurs in four steps. In prophase the replicated, linked DNA strands slowly wrap around proteins that in turn coil and condense into two short, thick, rodlike structures called chromatids, attached by the centromere. Two structures called centrioles, both located on one side of the nucleus, separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell. As the centrioles move apart, they begin to radiate thin, hollow, proteins called microtubules. The microtubules arrange themselves in the shape of a football, or spindle, that spans the cell, with the widest part at the center of the cell and the narrower ends at opposite poles. As the spindle forms, the nuclear membrane breaks down into tiny sacs or vesicles that are dispersed in the cytoplasm. Final disintegration of the membrane marks the beginning of metaphase. \n\nIn metaphase, the spindle fibers attach to the chromatids near the centromeres, and tug and push the chromatids so that they line up in the equatorial plane of the cell halfway between the poles. Like two individuals standing back to back at the equator, one chromatid faces one pole of the cell, and its linked partner faces the opposite pole. This precise orientation is necessary in order for the next step, anaphase, to occur. Anaphase begins when the centromeres split, separating the identical chromatids into single chromosomes, which then move along the spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell. \n\nAs these two identical groups of single chromosomes gather at opposite poles of the cell, telophase begins. A new nuclear membrane forms around each new group of chromosomes. The spindle fibers break down and the newly formed chromosomes begin to unwind. If viewed under a light microscope, the chromosomes appear to fade away. They exist, however, in the form of chromatin, the extended, thin strands of DNA too fine to be seen except with electron microscopes. Mitosis accomplishes replication and division of the nucleus,

1.synapsis occur only in meiosis. \n2.mitosis divide once, where meiosis divide twice. \n3.mitosis produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, where meiosis produce four daughter cells that have only half of the chromosomes the mater cell had. \n4.meiosis have their homologous chromosomes separate!! but mitosis don't.

the result of mitosis is 2 daughter cells which are exactly like the mother cell and that is how regular cells in the body reproduce, but in meiosis you get 4 gaughter cells that each have half the genetic material of the mother cell, in fact meiosis is like a mitosis in the begining but the cell divide once more without doubling the DNA. the cells in the reproductive glands divide like this and make the sperm and the ovuum.

Mitosis is nuclear division plus cytokinesis, and produces two identical daughter cells during prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Interphase is often included in discussions of mitosis, but interphase is technically not part of mitosis, but rather encompasses stages G1, S, and G2 of the cell cycle.  \nInterphase & mitosis Interphase \n  \nThe cell is engaged in metabolic activity and performing its prepare for mitosis (the next four phases that lead up to and include nuclear division). Chromosomes are not clearly discerned in the nucleus, although a dark spot called the nucleolus may be visible. The cell may contain a pair of centrioles (or microtubule organizing centers in plants) both of which are organizational sites for microtubules. \n \nProphase \n  \nChromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and becomes visible in the light microscope as chromosomes. The nucleolus disappears. Centrioles begin moving to opposite ends of the cell and fibers extend from the centromeres. Some fibers cross the cell to form the mitotic spindle. \n \nPrometaphase\n  \nThe nuclear membrane dissolves, marking the beginning of prometaphase. Proteins attach to the centromeres creating the kinetochores. Microtubules attach at the kinetochores and the chromosomes begin moving. \n \nMetaphase\n  \nSpindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus. This line is referred to as the metaphase plate. This organization helps to ensure that in the next phase, when the chromosomes are separated, each new nucleus will receive one copy of each chromosome.\n \nAnaphase\n  \nThe paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores and move to opposite sides of the cell. Motion results from a combination of kinetochore movement along the spindle microtubules and through the physical interaction of polar microtubules. \n \nTelophase \n  \nChromatids arrive at opposite poles of cell, and new membranes form around the daughter nuclei. The chromosomes disperse and are no longer visible under the light microscope. The spindle fibers disperse, and cytokinesis or the partitioning of the cell may also begin during this stage. \n \nCytokinesis\n \nIn animal cells, cytokinesis results when a fiber ring composed of a protein called actin around the center of the cell contracts pinching the cell into two daughter cells, each with one nucleus. In plant cells, the rigid wall requires that a cell plate be synthesized between the two daughter cells.

Mitosis is the formation of identical daughter cells, it has nothing to do with the interacting of "two" cells.  Plant cells have a different pinching off process when the one cell becomes two because of the cell walls.  Also animal cells have a structure called centrioles that does something in mitosis but I do NOT remember what it does...
