Study Notes
Mitosis
- Somatic cells undergo division during mitosis.
- Parental cell type is diploid (2n).
- Process involves one cell division.
- Produces 2 diploid daughter cells.
- Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis
- Reproductive cells are the focus of meiosis.
- Parental cell type is also diploid (2n).
- Involves two rounds of cell division (Meiosis I and Meiosis II).
- Results in the production of 4 haploid daughter cells.
- Daughter cells are genetically different from the parent cell.
