The Similarities and Differences between Mitosis and Meiosis

In meiosis there is a process called crossing over where part of each chromosome are taken and swapped to each other, in mitosis this process is not used. In mitosis by the end of the process there is two identical cells, but at the end of meiosis there is 4 genetically different cells.

There are quite a lot of similarities between mitosis and meiosis, in fact more there are more similarities than differences. Almost everything except for “crossing over” and that there are four genetically different cells by the end of the process there is almost no difference.

The Pros and Cons of Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

The cons of asexual reproduction is that every generation will be exactly the same, there wont be any evolution so the same conflicts will occur over and over again. Sexual reproduction changes each generation to make them better and better to overcome conflicts and keep reproducing.

The pros of asexual reproduction is that there only needs to be one organism, which means its very easy for the organism to reproduce, in sexual reproduction there needs to be two organisms and its a little harder for it to occur.
