what is cell division give types of cell division
Answers
In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).
☆
● The process in which new cell formed in organisms in order to grow, to replace old, dead and injured cells and to form gametes required for reproduction is called .
=> There are types of cell division:-
1. Mitosis
2. Meiosis
●
The process of cell division by which the cell called mother cell divides into two identical daughters cells having the same numbers of chromosomes as mother cell.
-> It helps in growth and repair of tissues in organisms.
●
In meiosis cell divides and produces four new cells.
• The new cells formed during meiosis have half the number of chromosomes than that of mother cell.
