Meiosis Review

What is one difference between mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis produces more daughter cells than meiosis.

• Meiosis is needed for growth and tissue repair, but mitosis is not.

• Mitosis produces diploid cells, while meiosis produces haploid cells.

• Mitosis produces haploid cells, while meiosis produces diploid cells.

The models show the processes of mitosis and miosis.
