COMPARING AND CONTRASTING MITOSIS AND
MEIOSIS
Place check marks in the appropriate column(s) to indicate whether the listed items
apply to mitosis, meiosis or both.
Mitosis Meiosis
1. no recombination of homologs occurs ✓ ✓
2. two cell divisions ✓
3. produces four daughter cells ✓
4. associated with asexual reproduction
and growth
5. associated with sexual reproduction
6. one cell division
7. produces two daughter cells
8. chromosomes are duplicated
9. chromosome number is maintained
10. chromosome number is halved
11. homologous chromosomes may
perform crossing-over
12. daughter cells are the same as
parent cell
13. daughter cells are not the same as
parent cell
14. This produces gametes
15. synapsis occurs in prophase
