19. Complete this table to describe some important differences between mitosis and meiosis. Characteristic Mitosis Meiosis Type of produced # of daughter cells Are daughter cells genetically identical or different? # of cell divisions 20. Draw chromosomes in this figure to show how a pair of homologous chromosomes is lined up in a cell at the beginning of mitosis vs. the beginning of meiosis I. Genes are inherited via meiosis and fertilization. To learn how meiosis and fertilization determine the genetic makeup of a child, you will analyze inheritance for two parents who both have the Aa genotype. This flowchart shows one possible outcome of meiosis and fertilization for these parents. 21a. Fill in the blanks in this flowchart to show when meiosis and fertilization occurred. 21b. Label the alleles in the child’s cells. Explain how you know what these alleles are. 21c. Do you think that this is the only possible outcome of meiosis and fertilization for these two Aa parents? Explain why or why not.
