What is the main difference in genetic outcomes between mitosis and meiosis?
What is the main difference in genetic outcomes between mitosis and meiosis?
- Mitosis involves genetic recombination, while meiosis does not.
- Mitosis leads to the formation of haploid cells, whereas meiosis produces diploid cells.
