Mitosis is a fundamental process of cell division that results in the production of two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as sperm and eggs, in sexually reproducing organis...
How does mitosis differ from meiosis? Where do they occur in the body and what is their purpose? What are the three reasons why you would do mitosis? What is the importance of mitosis to living organisms? What is the role of kinetochore in the process of mitosis?
What role do meiosis and mitosis play in maintaining the integrity of the genetic code during (a) cloning? (b) sexual reproduction? What is the role of reproduction as used in the study of biology? What is the purpose of meiosis?
The goal of mitosis is to divide a cell to produce two cells, each of which is identical to the parent cell. The cell cycle is the process by which cells multiply, which is necessary for an organism to survive. Bacteria, like other prokaryotic cells, multiply through **binary fission, bu...
Somatic cells—that is, the cells in your body that aren’t sex cells—do this via a process called mitosis. New sex cells, or gametes, are produced via a different process, called meiosis. Today, we’re going to talk about both of these. How are they different? How are they similar...
Mitosis and meiosis are both processes of cell division, but they differ in terms of the number of daughter cells that are...
Chromosomes are introduced right at the start, which is in fact an account of mitosis and meiosis. Then follows what comes to seem almost like a digression, into the inter-relations of heredity, environment and character, before the main trend is resumed with an account of mendelian behaviour....

meiosis, which is divided into meiosis I and meiosis II. Each of these in turn includes its own metaphase, appropriately named metaphase I and metaphase II. (Tip: When you see any of the phases of cell division followed by a number, your source is describing meiosis rather than mitosis.)...
One of the most important processes for all living organisms is mitosis. In this lesson, explore the meaning, stages, and purpose behind this biological process. What is Mitosis? Ever wonder how the human body grows from a tiny baby into an adult? Or how a scrape on our knee can disapp...
