Question

What is the mitosis

Answer 1

• Mitosis is a type of indirect cell division in which one mother cell divides into two daughter cells in which the number of chromosomes is similar to the number of mother cells and both daughter cells are also similar to each other.

• the term mitosis is coined by W.Flemming.

• mitosis was discovered by strassburger in plant cell and Flemming in animal cell.

• Generally, mitosis takes place in somatic cells , but also takes place in reproductive cells to increase the number.

• In animals , mitosis only takes place in diploid somatic cells , while in plants , it takes place in both haploid and diploid cells.

Answer 2

Mitosis :-

=>This kind of cell division takes place in the somatic cells.

=>Only two daughter cells are formed in this division.

=>This is necessary for the growth and repair of the cells.

=>Diploid daughter cells are remained.

=>Crossing over doesn't take place here.
