1. Meiosis vs mitosis

2. Fill in the blanks: write out each sentence using meiosis or mitosis
_________ use (meiosis/mitosis) to ______________
Ex: bacteria use mitosis to reproduce asexually

3. Write out a sentence for mitosis and a sentence for meiosis, choose the right option
In humans, (meiosis/mitosis) begins with 1 (diploid/haploid) parent cell with (23/46) chromosomes and ends with (2/4) (diploid/haploid) daughter cells with (23/46) chromosomes.

4. Purpose Meiosis: forms gametes for sexual reproduction Mitosis:
Causes genetic variation: different types of organisms
Mitosis:
Single cell organisms: asexual reproduction
Multicellular organisms: growth and development, replacing dead cells

5. Process 1 division results in 2 identical daughter cells Diploid = 46
Mitosis
Meiosis
1 division results in 2 identical daughter cells
Diploid = 46
2 divisions result in 4 different daughter cells
Haploid = 23

6. Draw a Venn diagram to Compare and Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis
