Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of Meiosis II and mitosis: Meiosis II is the second division in meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half and results in haploid cells. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, maintaining the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
Identify the outcomes of Meiosis II: Meiosis II results in four haploid cells. These cells are genetically diverse due to the crossing over and independent assortment that occur during meiosis.
Identify the outcomes of mitosis: Mitosis results in two diploid cells. These cells are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell, as there is no crossing over or independent assortment.
Compare the genetic diversity: Meiosis II produces genetically diverse cells due to recombination events, while mitosis produces genetically identical cells.
Compare the ploidy of the resulting cells: Meiosis II results in haploid cells (n), whereas mitosis results in diploid cells (2n).
