While some parts of this cell division While some parts of this cell division process are similar to the asexual cell process are similar to the asexual cell division process of mitosis, there are several division process of mitosis, there are several key differences. key differences.

The process of meiosis halves the The process of meiosis halves the chromosome number from the original chromosome number from the original parent cell in the four cells it forms. It does parent cell in the four cells it forms. It does this by having two cell divisions forming this by having two cell divisions forming four cells, where mitosis has only one cell four cells, where mitosis has only one cell division forming two cells. division forming two cells.

Another important way that meiosis differs from Another important way that meiosis differs from mitosis is the exchange of chromosome pieces mitosis is the exchange of chromosome pieces which occurs in the first division of this process. which occurs in the first division of this process.

This exchange of chromosome pieces is called This exchange of chromosome pieces is called crossing over. Crossing over assures that the crossing over. Crossing over assures that the cells produced as a result of meiosis will be cells produced as a result of meiosis will be different from and exhibit variations from the different from and exhibit variations from the parent cell that produced them.parent cell that produced them.
