What is the difference between the results of mitosis and the results of meiosis?
In mitosis, the offspring is a perfect copy of it's parent. In meiosis, the offspring is different. We are the result of meiosis. BTW I learned that about 1 week ago in Science 7. Wow. I guess these dumb classes can be useful if you go around answering random questions on Answers.com. :) -<3 Purple415 <3
How do you use daughter cells in a sentence?
Daughter cells are the result of either meiosis or mitosis. :)
Which sequence represent the correct order of processes that result in the formation and development of an embryo?
meiosis...fertilization...mitosis
Which sequence represents the correct order of processes that result in the formation and development of an embryo?

How many cells result from meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis creates four daughter cells, and mitosis results in two.

Is meiosis an adaptation of mitosis?
The origin of meiosis does not have one widely accepted theory. There is a theory that meiosis is an adaptation of mitosis. However, this theory does not have a lot of support. There are several mechanisms that are similar in mitosis and meiosis, for example they go through similar phases of prophase, metaphase, etc. Mitosis is believed to have originated about 3 billion years before meiosis. However, there are also important differences. The most obvious difference is the end result - mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.
Why are mitosis and mitosis similar?
Because they both result in the formantion of gametes; however there is no genetic variation in meiosis.
What is the difference between daughter cells produced by mitosis and daughter cells produced by mitosis?
Amitosis is nuclear division occurring without symmetry, and as such is a rather random type of division with without proper structure. Mitosis and Meiosis do differ in the number of daughter cells, mitosis with 2 and meiosis with 4. This, however, is also not a fair comparison, as mitosis and meiosis result in different types of cells.

Why meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis?
Because they both result in the formantion of gametes; however there is no genetic variation in meiosis.
Does meiosis result in two cells?
No, mitosis results in two, meiosis has a couple extra steps and results in 4 sex cells (half the chromosomes)
In mitosis how many times is the DNA copied?
In both mitosis and meiosis DNA replication only occurs once, during Interphase and Interphase 1, for mitosis and meiosis, respectively.
Could the resulting cells of mitosis be sperm cells?
No. Sperm cells (spermatozoa) are gametes and are the result of meiosis.
When parts of chromosomes are are broken off and and lost or reattach incorrectly during mitosis or meiosis the result is a?
Mistake.
