Question

Mitosis and meiosis

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. mitosis occurs in somatic cells and stem cells.

1. Meiosis occurs in germ cells.

2. In mitosis nucleus divides only ones.

2. In meiosis nucleus divides twice

3. In mitosis two daughter cells are formed.

3. In meiosis four daughter cells are formed

4. Mitosis plays an important role in growth, repair, healing and development.

4. Meiosis is important for formation of haploid gametes and spores.

Answer 2

Mitosis:-

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Meiosis:-

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females
