Question

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis

Complete this chart with yes or no to distinguish mitosis from meiosis (5 points).

	Key points	Mitosis	Meiosis
1	Produces 2 diploid daughter cells
2	Produces 4 haploid daughter cells
3	Completed after 1 division
4	Crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes
5	Produces gametes (i.e., sex cells)
6	Allows for growth and cell replacement
7	Involves duplicated chromosomes
8	Contributes to genetic variation
9	Cheek cells are produced by this process
10	Occurs in egg and sperm formation
