Mitosis vs. Meiosis: Side by Side Comparison (6:21)
A Venn Diagram is a method to arrange objects into groups, depending on various characteristics. The website Math Is Fun has a handy overview of Venn Diagrams.
The company Burning Box Co. uses a Venn diagram to effectively transmit their "core values".
Thomson Reuters, a large media company, released an ad that accidentally implied that their values did not include "Trust", "Partnership", "Innovation", or "Performance".
For this assignment, I would like you to create a Venn diagram comparing meiosis and mitosis. Create a list of scientific facts that apply to meiosis, mitosis, or both. For example, both meiosis and mitosis begin with a single living cell.
You may submit either a Venn diagram, or a document with 3 lists: "unique to meiosis", "unique to mitosis", and "common to both".
