Complete the table below to compare meiosis and mitosis.

Meiosis: 8 stages in total (plus interphase)

~happens in germ cells

~purpose is sexual reproduction

~produces 4 haploid daughter cells

~chromosome number is halved in each daughter cell

~genetic variation increased

Mitosis: 4 stages in total (plus interphase)

~happens in somatic cells

~Purpose is the cellular proliferation

~Produces 2 diploid daughter cells

~chromosome number remains the same

~genetic variation doesn't change

Meiosis and Mitosis are both similar because they produce new cells, they have similar basic steps, and they start with a single parent cell

Explanation:

Not sure if it's correct but I hope this helps :)

Also just thought I'd let you know you did not include the table

i'm pretty sure it's spores
