This article will update you about the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Difference # Mitosis: 1. The term 'Mitosis' was given by W. Flemming (1882). 2. Mitosis is one step process. 3. Mitosis always occurs in somatic and reproductive cells. 4. On completion one cell forms two daughter cells. Chromosome number of each daughter cell is the same as that [...]
The following points highlight the three main types of cell division seen in plants and animals. The types are: 1. Amitosis 2. Mitosis 3. Meiosis. Cell Division: Type # 1. Amitosis (= Direct Nuclear Division): It is the most uncommon, primitive and simplest type of cell division. The nucleus starts elongating, thus a constriction appears approximately in the middle. The [...]
In this article we will discuss about the similarities and dissimilarities between mitosis and meiosis. Similarities between Mitosis and Meiosis: Mitosis: 1. Mitosis Involves nuclear division 2. Mitosis Involves spindle apparatus 3. Mitosis is Genetically controlled 4. Mitosis has various successive phases 5. Mitosis Involves cytokinesis at the end. Meiosis: 1. Meiosis also involves nuclear division 2. Meiosis also involves [...]
