In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Mitosis 2. Features of Mitosis 3. Genetic Control 4. Significance. Definition of Mitosis: The term mitosis was coined by Flemming in 1882. Mitosis refers to the spindle using nuclear division which produces two identical daughter nuclei from the parent nucleus. Since mitosis occurs in somatic cells, it is also known [...]
Notes on Meiosis: Features, Division and Significance! Notes # Features of Meiosis: Important features of meiosis are presented below: Two spindle using divisions which reduce the chromosome number from diploid to haploid constitute meiosis. The main function of meiosis is to produce gametes in an organism. 1. Meiosis results in formation of four daughter cells from a single mother cell [...]
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 [...]
