Complete the table compare meiosis with mitosis. How does meiosis differ from mitosis?

Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells that are diploid and Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells which are haploid.

In meiosis, chromosomes behave differently compared to mitosis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs physically meet and are bound together with the synaptonemal complex. Following this, the chromosomes develop chiasmata and undergo crossover between non-sister chromatids. These events do not occur in mitosis.
Cellular events during meiosis include the pairing of homologous chromosomes, crossing over, and the separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I. In meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated.
The main differences between meiosis and mitosis are the reduction in chromosome number (meiosis produces haploid cells) and the introduction of genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes. Mitosis, on the other hand, produces genetically identical diploid cells.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four genetically diverse haploid cells and is crucial for sexual reproduction, while mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells for growth and repair. The main differences lie in the number of divisions, the genetic outcomes, and the purposes of each process in organisms.
