Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis

Instructions: Create the table below in your journal. Use the statements provided and
write them in the correct columns. Each box will have a statement.
Cells produced are genetically identical
A cell is divided twice
Occurs in all somatic (body) cells
A cell is divided once
Results in 4 gametes
Results in diploid cells (two sets of DNA)

Mitosis

Occurs only in repoductives cells/organs

Cell division
Cells grow and develop during interpahse
Results in 2 identical cells
Cells produced are genetically different
Results in haploid cells (one set of DNA)

Meiosis
