Answer:
Explanation:
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four cells.
Keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
Mitosis Meiosis
cells created: two daughter cells four daughter cells
Ploidy Creates diploid daughter cells Creates haploid daughter cells
Genetics Daughter cells are Daughter cells are . . genetically identical genetically different
Why is there a meiosis II but not mitosis II?
Meiosis II is generally regarded as being very similar to mitosis, except for the presence of two parent cells, instead of only one. In both meiosis I and II, cytokinesis occurs, and there are two daughter cells per parent cell.
