- Mitosis and meiosis are two different processes related to cellular reproduction and are crucial in the study of reproduction and genetics
- Mitosis is related to asexual reproduction and occurs in somatic cells, resulting in 2 identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
- Meiosis is related to sexual reproduction and occurs in gametes, resulting in 4 different daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
- Mitosis has 1 division, while meiosis has 2 divisions, and genetic variation occurs in meiosis
- Understanding the differences between mitosis and meiosis is essential for understanding the purposes of these processes in reproduction and genetics.
