One cell divides 2 times to form 4 cells
meiosis
Formation of gametes in eukaryotic cells
meiosis
Zygote (fertilized egg) divides to form the trillion-celled baby.
mitosis
Daughter cells have the identical chromosomes as the parent cell
mitosis
Pairing up and crossing over between homologous chromosome pairs occurs at prophase
meiosis
Daughter cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell
meiosis
DNA replicates before cell division
both
One cell divides to form 2 identical cells
mitosis
Daughter cells have exactly � the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
meiosis
Cells in our body such as skin cells and bone cells divide by this process
mitosis
Homologous chromosomes end up in different cells
Meiosis
One division takes place
mitosis
Homologous Chromosomes are paired
Meiosis
Maintains the chromosome number of a species
both
Diploid cells are formed
mitosis
Haploid cells are formed
meiosis
Replicated chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
