What is miosis and mytosis |
|
Answer» Mitosis is the M-phase of the cell cycle. Mitosis results in the formation of two daughter cells identical to each other and also to the parent cell. Mitosis is also called as equational division as both the parent and the daughter cells have equal number of chromosomes. Mitosis involves four nuclear divisions namely, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.Meiosis is reductional phase of cell division. It involves the division of a diploid parent cell to give rise to haploid cells with single set of chromosomes. During fertilization, haploid cells fuse to restore the chromosome number in the offspring. Hence, meiosis maintains constant number of chromosomes of particular species. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which two daughter cells are formed from one parent cell and both daughter cells have equal number of chromosomes as in the parent cell. It occurs in somatic body cells..........Meiosis is a type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed from one parent cell and each daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as in the parent cell. It occurs in reproductive cells.............. Mitosis consists of one stage whereas meiosis consists of two stages. Mitosis produces diploid cells (46 chromosomes) whereas meiosis produces haploid cells (23 chromosomes). Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells. Koi to bata do |
