What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis ? Give answer in detail
Answers
Answer:
1) Mitosis :
Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two producing a replica, with an equal number of chromosomes in each resulting diploid cell.
Meiosis:
Meiosis is a type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells.
2)Mitosis:
Mitosis involves the division of body cells.
Meiosis:
meiosis involves the division of sex cells
3)Mitosis:
Occurs in all organisms (except virus)
Meiosis:
Occurs in animal , plants and fungi .

assalam-alaikum!!! hey sis u can in box me
Mitosis results in two nuclei that are identical to the original nucleus. Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four nuclei that each has ½ the chromosomes of the original cell. In animals, meiosis only occurs in the cells that give rise to the sex cells (gametes), i.e., the egg and the sperm.
