What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis occurs in diploid cells while meiosis occurs in haploid cells
Meiosis occurs in diploid cells while mitosis occurs in haploid cells
Both mitosis and meiosis occur in diploid cells
Both mitosis and meiosis occur in haploid cells
Solution
Meiosis occurs in the diploid cells that are destined to form gametes and reduces the chromosome number by half while making the gametes. On the other hand, mitosis occurs in cells that are not involved in the formation of gametes and conserves the chromosome number of the parent in the daughter cell.
