Sexual reproduction

[ Choose ] Mitosis Meiosis

-Mitosis occurs in both sexually as well as asexually reproducing organisms whereas meiosis occurs only in sexually producing organisms.

-Mitosis takes place in somatic cells whereas meiosis take place in reproductive cells.

-In Mitosis the cell divide only once where in meiosis 2 cell divisions take place i.e the first and second meiotic divisions.

-The DNA replicates once for one cell division in mitosis.Where as in meiosis the DNA replicates once for two cell divisions.

-The duration of prophase is short in mitosis where as in meiosis the duration of prophase is longer.

-Prophase is comparatively simple in mitosis where as in meiosis it is complicated and divided.
