In meiosis I, chromosomes in a diploid cell resegregate, producing four haploid daughter cells. It is this step in meiosis that generates genetic diversity. Prophase I. DNA replication precedes the start of meiosis I. During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses, a step unique to meiosis. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents, and the formation of chiasmata caused by genetic recombination becomes apparent.
Cellular division, or mitosis, produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. As explained by Clinton Community College, mitosis allows multicellular organisms to grow and repair damaged tissue. Daughter cells are also produced during meiosis, which is a special type of cell division that enables organisms to sexually reproduce. Daughter cells produced in meiosis have one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
