Compare and Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis

  • Occurs in body cells
  • Occurs in sex cells
  • Produces 2 diploid daughter cells
  • Produces 4 haploid daughter cells
  • Daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cells
  • Daughter cells are genetically different from parent cells
  • Produces new cells
  • Undergo DNA replication
  • Starts with a diploid parent cell
  • Mitosis
  • Both
  • Meiosis

Consider:
How do mitosis and cell differentiation work together to produce and maintain a complex organism?
The rubric below shows point breakdown. Please be sure to include both of the roles - the role of mitosis and the role of cellular differentiation- in producing and maintaining complex organisms. Use the model to support your answer.
