Title: Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
Post by: audrey k on Jun 4, 2023
Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. Analyze the growth rate of chicks to explain how food consumption results in the chicks growing size. Use cell reproduction in you explanation. Use 5-7 science words.

Mitosis and meiosis are both cell division processes, but mitosis results in two identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells. In mitosis, genetic material is duplicated once, leading to growth and tissue repair. In meiosis, two divisions occur, creating genetic diversity for sexual reproduction. Chick growth involves cell division, where mitosis contributes to tissue growth, and food consumption provides energy for metabolic processes, influencing overall size. The synchronized balance of cell reproduction and nutrient intake dictates the chicks’ developmental trajectory.
