Mitosis & Meiosis

StageInterphase

Daughter cells2

Chromosome number vs parentSame (diploid)

Genetically identical?Yes

Select Mitosis and step to Interphase — the stage every division starts with
Select Meiosis and step to Meiosis I — the reduction division that halves the chromosome number
On Mitosis, step all the way to Telophase — confirm it ends in 2 daughter cells
On Meiosis, step all the way to Four gametes — confirm it ends in 4 genetically different daughter cells
Confirm that meiosis halves the chromosome number, while mitosis keeps it the same as the parent
