Mitosis:-

• Mitosis takes place in somatic cells.
• Two daughter cell are formed.
• A mitotic mother cell can either be happier or diploid.
• The number of chromosomes per nucleus remains the same after division.
• It is preceded by a S-phasein which the amount of DNA in duplicated.
• In mitosis there is no pairing of homologous chromosomes.
• There is no exchange of DNA between chromosomes.
• The centreomerr split during anaphase.
• The genotypes pf the daughter cell is identical to that of the mother cell.
• After mitosis , each daughter cell has EXACTLY the same DNA strands.

Meiosis:-

• Meiosis takes place in the reproductive cells of sexually REPRODUCING ORGANISMS.
• FOUR daughter cells are formed.
• A meiotic mother cell is diploid.
• The meioti products contain a diploid number of chromosomes in contrasting the number of chromosomes in mother cell.
• In meiosis only meiosis I may be preceded by a S-Phase.
• During prophase I compete pairing of homologous chromosomes takes place.
• There is at least one crossing over Or DNA exchange perhomogous pair of chromosomes.
• The centromeres split during anaphase-II but not during anaphase-I
• Meiotic products differ in their genotype from the mother cell.
• After meiosis each daughter cell jas re combined DNA strands.
