Difference between Meiosis and Vertebrate

Meiosis vs. Vertebrate

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them. Vertebrates comprise all species of animals within the subphylum Vertebrata (chordates with backbones).

Similarities between Meiosis and Vertebrate

Meiosis and Vertebrate have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Animal, Egg cell, Fertilisation, Homologous chromosome, Sexual reproduction, Sperm, Spermatozoon, Synapsis, Zygote.

Animal

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia.

Egg cell

The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell (gamete) in oogamous organisms.

Fertilisation

Fertilisation or fertilization (see spelling differences), also known as generative fertilisation, conception, fecundation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to initiate the development of a new individual organism.

Homologous chromosome

A couple of homologous chromosomes, or homologs, are a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during meiosis.

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together, involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm.

Sperm

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed").

Spermatozoon

A spermatozoon (pronounced, alternate spelling spermatozoön; plural spermatozoa; from σπέρμα "seed" and ζῷον "living being") is a motile sperm cell, or moving form of the haploid cell that is the male gamete.

Synapsis

Synapsis (also called syndesis) is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis.

Zygote

A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke") is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes.

Meiosis and Vertebrate Comparison

Meiosis has 121 relations, while Vertebrate has 188. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 2.91% = 9 / (121 + 188).
