Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis

 Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosisMitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division





Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis

The important difference between mitosis and meiosis are mentioned below:

Difference between Mitosis and Meiosis

Mitosis

Meiosis

Interphase

Each chromosome replicates. The result is two genetically identical sister chromatids (However, do note that interphase is technically not a part of mitosis because it takes place between one mitotic phase and the next)Chromosomes not yet visible but DNA has been duplicated or replicated

Prophase

Prophase –Each of the duplicated chromosomes appears as two identical or equal sister chromatids, The mitotic spindle begins to form. Chromosomes condense and thickenProphase I – crossing-over recombination – Homologous chromosomes (each consists of two sister chromatids) appear together as pairs. Tetrad is the structure that is formed. Segments of chromosomes are exchanged between non-sister chromatids at crossover points known as chiasmata (crossing-over)

Metaphase

Metaphase -The chromosomes assemble at the equator at the metaphase plateMetaphase I Chromosomes adjust on the metaphase plate. Chromosomes are still intact and arranged as pairs of homologues

Anaphase

Anaphase – The spindle fibres begin to contract. This starts to pull the sister chromatids apart. At the end of anaphase, a complete set of daughter chromosomes is found each poleAnaphase I Sister chromatids stay intact. However, homologous chromosomes drift to the opposite or reverse poles

Mode of Reproduction

AIFSET Forensic Science free book material

  What Is Forensic Science? While investigating a homicide, Mike carefully dusts a window for fingerprints. As the black powder is spread across the glass, a faint fingerprint begins to appear. Mike carefully lifts the print and takes it back to the lab. When the fingerprint is entered into the computer, a possible match is identified, and the suspect is picked up for questioning. When the suspect is asked how his fingerprints could have ended up at the crime scene, he confesses to the murder. This is an example of using forensic science to solve a crime. The simplest definition of  forensic science  is any science used within the criminal justice system. While this definition may be simple, the field of forensic science is anything but simple. Crime scene investigators and lab technicians use specialized skills and tools to collect, analyze, and present evidence in order to solve a crime or successfully convict the offender. The increased use of scientific methods to collect and exami
