Front

Key difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells, while meiosis occurs in germ cells.

Front

What is the result of nondisjunction during meiosis?

Back

Cells with either one fewer or one extra chromosome are possible.

Front

How does meiosis contribute to genetic diversity?

Back

Through the random assortment of chromosomes

Front

Which stage of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes along the equator of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

In which phase of meiosis does crossing over occur?

Back

Prophase I

Front

What is the significance of meiosis in genetics?

Back

It ensures that each daughter cell receives a unique copy of the genetic material.
