The following points highlight the two main types of meiotic division. The types are: 1. The First Meiotic Division or Heterotypic Division 2. The Second Meiotic Division or Homeoptypic Division. Type # 1. The First Meiotic Division or Heterotypic Division: i. First Prophase Stage: This stage is divided into following stages: (a) Leptotene sub stage: The slide shows the first [...]
The following points highlight the three main types of cell division in all organisms. The types are: 1. Mitosis 2. Meiosis 3. Amitosis. Cell Division: Type # 1. Mitosis: The word 'mitosis' means the division of the nucleus, but it is used to describe a process of cell division which involves both nucleus and cytoplasm. During mitosis, a cell divides [...]
Learn about the comparison between Mitosis and Meiosis. Comparison # Mitosis: 1. Nuclear division and chromosome duplication: Mitosis involves one nuclear division. It is the chief process of reproduction in many unicellular organisms. Each division ensures duplication of chromosomes. 2. Chromosome number: As a consequence of mitosis daughter nuclei maintain the same number of chromosomes as before the division (diploid [...]
