Mitosis is a form of cell division where the cell splits in to two making each identical to the original cell

# data[].attributes.body
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four cells each having half the chromosomes of the original cell.

# data[].attributes.body
Mitosis is a continuous process of cell division which occurs in all types of living cells it involves four basic phases prophase metaphase anaphase and telophase.

# data[].attributes.body
Meiosis consists of meiosis I, meiosis II, in meiosis I homologous chromosomes are separated into different nuclei.

# data[].attributes.body
Involves one cell division and results in two daughter cells.

# data[].attributes.body
Results in diploid daughter cells.

# data[].attributes.body
Occurs in all organisms except viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
Creates all body cells apart from eggs and sperm.

# data[].attributes.body
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.

# data[].attributes.body
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.

# data[].attributes.body
Involves two successive cell divisions

# data[].attributes.body
Daughter cells are genetically different

# data[].attributes.body
Daughter cells are genetically identical

# data[].attributes.body
Meiosis involves crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I.

This video is taught at the high school level. I use this PowerPoint in my biology class at Beverly Hills High School. Topics: - Interphase - Prophase I: Synapsis & Crossing over - Metaphase I - Anaphase I - Telophase I - Prophase II - Metaphase II - Anaphase II - Telophase II - Spermatogenesis '- Oogenesis Teachers: You can purchase this PowerPoint from my online store at TeachersPayTeachers.com.

Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi.

# data[].attributes.body
In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator.

# data[].attributes.body
In anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole.

# data[].attributes.body
Prophase is a shorter process.

# data[].attributes.body
Prophase is a much longer process.

Meiosis and fertilization create genetic variation by making new combinations of gene variants 

# data[].attributes.body
According to the law of independent assortment, the alleles of two more genes get sorted into gametes independent of each other. The allele received for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

# data[].attributes.body
Independent assortment takes place during the process of meiosis. In this process, the chromosomes are halved and are known as haploid.

# data[].attributes.body
The law of independent assortment occurs when the maternal and paternal genes are divided randomly.

# data[].attributes.body
The Law of Independent Assortment states that during a dihybrid cross (crossing of two pairs of traits), an assortment of each pair of traits is independent of the other, during gamete formation, one pair of trait segregates from another pair of traits independently. This gives each pair of characters a chance of expression.
