    Mitosis and meiosis compared-labeled

    6788

    Meiosis is used to make sperm and egg cells. During meiosis, a cell's chromosomes are copied once, but the cell divides twice. During mitosis, the chromosomes are copied once, and the cell divides once. For simplicity, cells are illustrated with only three pairs of chromosomes.

    See image 1333 for an unlabeled version of this illustration.
