Mitosis vs Meiosis

Medium+90 XP🔄

A skin cell replaces itself perfectly. A sperm cell has half the chromosomes. Same process — different outcomes. Step through every phase and spot the key difference.

Mitosis: PMAT phases → 2 identical diploid daughter cells (growth/repair).
Meiosis I: homologues separate; synapsis + crossing over in prophase I.
