Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells that are identical to the starting cell. Explain how meíosis is different using
this diagram to help you.
1) How many cells are created through meiosis?
2) Describe the chromosomes in each gamete at the end of meiosis? Are the set of chromosomes in a gamete
identical to the starting cell like they are in mitosis? Are there the same number of chromosomes in each
gamete as the starting cell?
Starting cell's chromosomes:
1А, 1B, 2A, 2B
Interphase
After the S phase of interphase:
4 pairs of sister chromatids
1A 1A 1B 1B
2A 2A 2B 2B
Meiosis has 2 rounds of cell division
