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 [...]
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 nuÂcleus and cytoplasm. During mitosis, a cell divides [...]
