Cells divide within organisms using a process called mitosis. When sex cells (gametes) are formed, they undergo a different process called meiosis. Describe three key differences between the two processes. (3)

The key differences between mitosis and meiosis are:-Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells, where as meiosis produces 4 daughter cells. (1)-Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, where as meiosis produces genetically different cells (1)-Mitosis includes only 1 cell division, where as meiosis includes 2 cell divisions (1)-Mitosis produces cells with the full number of chromosomes, where as meiosis produces cells with half the number of chromosomes (1)
