Comparing Mitosis And Meiosis

no pairing of homologs occurs

two divisions

four daughter cells produced

associated with growth and asexual production

associated with sexual reproduction

one division

two daughter cells produced

involves duplication of chromosomes

chromosome number is maintained

chromosome number is halved

crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur

daughter cells are identical to parent cells

daughter cells are not identical to parent cell

produces gametes

synapsis occurs in prophase
