1.)what is the purpose of mitosis and meiosis and where in the body do it take place?
2.) list the specific steps in the proper order
3.) 3 similarities between mitosis and meiosis
4.) 3 differences between mitosis and meiosis

1. Mitosis is for growth and repair
Meiosis is for reproduction

2. Mitosis steps in order: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Meiosis steps in order: interphase
Prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2

3. •The steps of mitosis and phase 1 of meiosis are similar
•Cells undergo Cytokinesis (they divide)
• DNA and chromosomes play a vital role in both

4. •mitosis results in 2 cells and meiosis results in 4 cells
• the daughter cells created by mitosis and identical to the parent cell, the gamete cells that are created by meiosis are not identical to original cell
• Crossing over of the chromosomes happens in meiosis but not in mitosis
