What is mitosis?
- Mitosis can be described as a cell division process in which two daughter cells are made which are exactly identical to the parent cell.
- Mitosis occurs in all the cells of the body except the sex cells.
What is meiosis?
- Meiosis is the process of cell division in which the chromosome number is halved.
- This happens so that the chromosome number be conserved in species.
- As a result of meiosis, four daughter cells are formed.
