Explain why the daughter cells produced by meiosis are genetic different from each other, whereas the daughter cells produced by mitosis are not?

Respuesta :

StudyingWizz
because daughter cells produced by meiosis undergo a procsess called crossing over where piece of chromosomes are changed with their homologous pain, while in mitosis there is no crossing over so the produced cell are identical to it's mother cell

Crossing over is the process by which non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic material. This is why meiotic daughter cells are genetically different from each other.

Meiosis:

It is the reduction cell division in which a cell gives rise to 4 haploid cells. It is completed in two phases.

  • During the prophase-I crossing over occurs.
  • In crossing over non-sister chromatids exchange some parts of their DNA.
  • This results in the new genetic combinations in daughter cells.

Mitosis:

The process of cell division in which a cell gives rise to two identical daughter cells.

Hence, the daughter cells of meiotic division are genetically different from each other.
