End Results Of Mitosis And Meiosis. This ensures that at fertilisation the number of chromosomes found in normal body cells - the diploid number - is restored. Biol 140 Ch 8.
Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical cells while meiosis makes 4 genetically different cellsThe end cells at mitosis are diploid 2N while the end cells at meiosis are haploid N. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. Telophase is the fifth phase of mitosis and the final phase of meiosis as well.
Meiosis results variations and helps the sexual mode of reproduction.
As in mitosis it is spindle fibres that pull the chromosomes and chromatids apart. As in mitosis it is spindle fibres that pull the chromosomes and chromatids apart. If your sperm and eggs were made using mitosis when these two cells fused at fertilisation the egg would have 96 chromosomes. This ensures that at fertilisation the number of chromosomes found in normal body cells - the diploid number - is restored.
