It happens in body (somatic) cells and is important for growth, repair, and replacement. Each new cell gets a full set of DNA — exactly like the parent cell.

  • Produces 2 diploid cells (2n)

  • Cells are genetically identical

  • No crossing over or genetic variation

  • Happens in body cells (not for reproduction)

It results in four daughter cells that have half the DNA of the parent. Each cell is genetically unique, which helps increase variation in offspring.

Prophase II

Metaphase II

Anaphase II

Telophase II + Cytokinesis – Four genetically different haploid cells result.

  • Produces 4 haploid cells (n)

  • Cells are genetically different

  • Crossing over = new combinations of genes

  • Follows Mendel’s law of independent assortment: genes on different chromosomes separate independently when forming gametes.
