- How is meiosis II similar to mitosis?
- True or False:
- How does meiosis lead to genetic diversity?
- Clearly draw a diploid eukaryotic cell with 3 chromosomes in a set (2n=6), in metaphase of mitosis. Clearly label: centromeres, centrioles, microtubules.
- What would be the major difference if I asked you to draw a haploid eukaryotic cell with n=3 from above?
In meiosis a single cell gives rise to two daughter cells, identical to each other and to the parent cell.In meiosis, a single cell gives rise to four daughter cells, identical to each other but NOT identical to the parent cell.Crossing over between homologous chromosomes only happens in meiosis.Mitosis occurs in nearly all cells, meiosis only occurs in germ cells.
