Mitosis is the process of dividing a parent cell to make two daughter cells.\nFirst the Centrioles move to the opposite sides of the cell\nthe nuclear membrane dissolves, and the spindle fibers begin to form.(Prophase)\nSecond the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.(Metaphase)\nThird the centromere breaks up and the spindle fibers pull apart the chromosomes.(Anaphase)\nFourth the nuclear membranes begin to reform, and the nucleus is formed on each cell.(Telophase)\nFinally the cellular membrane separate and 2 daughter cells are formed.(Cytokinises)

Mitosis produces daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell.\nThis has to be true since mitosis is the cell division producing growth - we would not expect entirely different bits and pieces to appear as we grew!\n\nThe first stage of mitosis is DNA replication. The following stages share out the exact copies of DNA equally between the daughter cells.

Human cells have 46 chromosomes. To ensure that each daughter cell receives one and only one of each chromosome, eukaryotic cells undergo a complex, multistep process called mitosis. Before mitosis can begin, eukaryotes must first replicate their DNA. This process is similar to but takes much longer than DNA replication in prokaryotes. Then, during mitosis, the replicated chromosomes line up along the center line of the cell. Tiny fibers, called spindle fibers, attach to the individual chromosomes and pull them apart, toward opposite poles of the cell, where they remain until the cell divides.\n\nLong story short, the new skin cell will still have 46 chromosomes.

I agree, It's a) law of segregation. \n\n\nDuring Meiosis, the each chromosome pair is separated (segregated) into different daughter cells. 1 chromosome will end up in two daughter cells (1 copy in each cell) and the other chromosome in the other two daughter cells (1 copy in each cell)

n MITOSIS, the 2 cells that come out of the division (lets call them the daughters), are EXACTLY the same in genetic makeup as the original mother cell. They have the very same DNA and therefore make the same proteins and therefore the cells behave the same.In MEIOSIS on the other hand, the cells are not the same at all. And in fact, this is the point of meiosis - to make new types of cells. You may know that eggs and sperm are products of meiosis, but you not only get a mixing of genes from your mother (from the egg) and father (from the sperm), but the genes inside the egg and sperm are pre-mixed because of meiosis. Thus, genetic diversity!, and an explanation for why you have traits given to you from your grandmother through your father, even though your father may not have that trait (he carries it in his genes for later mixing). This may be a complicated issue in itself but since we have 2 of every chromosome and therefore 2 of every gene (even before the DNA replication that preceeds mitosis), there's a chance that the 2 copies of the same gene are different, one of which shows up in your father and one which you have that you got from your grandmother throuh your father. The mixing, by the way comes about because after the DNA replicates in preparation for cell division. This is neat and involves chromosomes breaking apart and joining back together. Take a look at the animated movie of meiosis at http://www.biology.yale.edu/animatedMeiosis.nclk  - make a point to notice the red and green chromosomes at the beginning and the mixed ones at the end.

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

meiosis has two stages of seperation and it involves sex cells. in the end result of mitosis, you have two identical sister cells, but as a result of meiosis, you end up with 4 daughter cells that are not identical but are similar.

Chromosomes, either X or Y.

Meiosis is a completely different process from mitosis.\n\nI should stop doing other people's homework...\n\nMeiosis ends with a different amount of cells, and the cells as a result of meiosis only have 1/2 of the chromosomes of the original cell, where in mitosis, the daughter cells have the same amount of chromosomes.\n\nIn meiosis, there are two divisions. \n\nMeiosis occurs only in reproductive cells. For example, in humans, sperm has 23chromosomes and eggs have 23 chromosomes, a normal human cell has 46, which is why it takes two reproductive cells to create a living thing.\n\nI could go on and on, but I have to return to my own work.

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!

Wikipedia's entry is very good on the phases of mitosis:\nhttp://jove.geol.niu.edu/faculty/stoddard/JAVA/luminaries.html

Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA\nMeiosis, is the process by which certain sex cells are created. If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells

Chromosomes are collections of genes which are coded in DNA molecules. Because after the split each daughter cell should be genetically identical to the parent cell, the cell division starts with the parent cell making a copy of each chromosome. \n\nEach chromosome now contains two identical copies of itself, called sister chromatids.\n\nDuring the dividing process the chromatids are split, and one half ends up in each of the two daughter cells.\n\nErrors in the cell splitting process are rare, but the process may go wrong, especially during the early cellular divisions of an embryon.

After telophase II of meiosis, each of the four daughter cells has exactly half the number chromosomes that are present in the parental cell. Unless more is known about the genetical make of the parental cell one can’t make any statement about their genetic make up.
