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".
