Compare and Contrast Meiosis and Mitosis
Similarities:Types of cell division which take place in Eukaryotic cellsDifferences:Meiosis - Occur in sex cells to produce haploid daughter cells; non-identical; recombination in order to produce genetic diversity Mitosis - Occur in somatic cells to produce diploid daughter cells (23 chromosomes) which are identical to each other and the original cell; cellular replication for growth and repair; recombination does NOT occur to maintain genetic stability
