Tutorial 4: State some differences between mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis	Meiosis
Prophase is short and complete in one step	Prophase is long and complete in 5 sub phase which are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, diakinesis
Conserve chromosome number (2n)	Reduce the chromosome number (n)
No Synapsis occur to form bivalent during prophase	Synapsis occur to form bivalent during prophase I
No crossing over occur	Crossing over occur
No Chiasma	Have Chiasma
Contain of genetic material in daughter cell is identical as the parent cell	Contain of genetic  material not identical as the parent cell
Produce 2 daughter cell each (2n)	Produce 4 daughter cell each (n)
Cytokinesis occur once	Cytokinesis occur twice
Occur in the somatic cell	Occur in gonad cell
