Question

explain the term mitosis and meiosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. mitosis

2. meiosis

Explanation:

1. The division of nucleus followed by the division of cytoplasm finally brings about formation of two daughter cells. Observing cells in tissues undergoing division, is not easy to differentiate different stages of division. There are four stages of mitosis.

2. Unlike mitosis which is a continuous process of division in most cells. Meiosis occurs only during the formation of gametes in sexual reproduction. Meiosis has two phases. During the first phase of meiosis the parent cell divides twice, thought he chromosomes divide only once. The second phase of meiosis is similar to normal mitosis, but chromosomes do not duplicate, more over the chromosomes are distributed equally to each cell.
