1. Briefly describe the difference(s) between cell division as the result of "meiosis" and cell division as the result of "mitosis." 2. Briefly describe the difference(s) between "recessive" and "dominant" genes. 3. A friend of yours is pregnant. She has read about the potential problems that could occur with a pregnancy. Based on this chapter, what three pieces of advice would you offer to ease this person's concerns for her unborn child? 4. A friend has asked you to describe the difference between "genotype" and "phenotype." Based upon the material inExplanation / Answer
1. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes. Whereas, Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Therefore, mitosis results in the formation of non-reproductive cells and this occurs in almost every part of an animal body. For example, tissue repair, healing of wounds, RBC formation, etc. On the other hand, meiosis results in the formation of reproductive cells, and this occurs only in specialized reproductive organs. For example, sperm formation in testis, etc.
