♦️Stages of Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis
During cell division, the chromosomes are reproduced in such a way that all daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. Without maintaining the same number & type of chromosomes, the daughter cells would not be viable.The process by which cells divide to create identical daughter cells is called mitosis.
Meiosis
A different process is used to produce the gametes or sex cells. The process is called meiosis & results in four unique, rather than two identical, daughter cells.
