Where they differed most
Make a two-column comparison (markdown table, max 6 rows) of mitosis vs meiosis a GCSE student could memorise: chromosome number, divisions, daughter cells, variation, where it happens, purpose.
Here is a concise, two-column comparison designed for easy memorisation. It combines the "divisions" and "daughter cells" points into a single row to keep the table to a strict maximum of 6 rows (including the header). | Mitosis | Meiosis | | :--- | :--- | | **Chromosome number:** Diploid (full set, same as parent) | **Chromosome number:** Haploid (half set, half of parent) | | **Divisions & Daughter cells:** 1 division makes 2 cells | **Divisions & Daughter cells:** 2 divisions make 4 cells | | **Variation:** Genetically identical (clones) |…
| Feature | Mitosis | Meiosis | |---|---|---| | **Chromosome number** | Stays the same (46 → 46) | Halves (46 → 23) | | **Divisions** | 1 | 2 | | **Daughter cells** | 2 identical cells | 4 different cells | | **Variation** | None – cells are clones | Yes – every cell is unique | | **Where it happens** | All body cells | Ovaries and testes | | **Purpose** | Growth and repair | Making gametes (sex cells) | **Memory hook:** *Mi**t**osis makes **T**wo identical cells; Meiosis **M**ixes genes and **M**akes gametes.*
