What is mitosis and meosis

Mitosis is a type of cell division which occurs to replace damaged cells. It's also important for growth. If mitosis wasn't happening in our body right now, we would practically not be alive. Meiosis is special type of cell division in specific organisms used to produce sperm or egg cells.

Cells Need to duplicate and reproduce.

Mitosis is the duplication of a cell.

Adds new cells during devolpment and replaces worn out cells.

It's Goal:

To duplicate it's DNA of it's two new cells (daughter cells) which have the same gentic code. (Identicial)

(One Cell division)

Meiosis

One Purpose in the human body: To make daughter cells with half as many chomosomes in the starting cell.

Meiosis is where one single cell divides twice to form four daughter cells.

These cells contain half the amount of gentic information.

These cells also produces eggs and sperms in females. (Sex Cells or Gametes)

Meiosis can also be divided into nine stages.

Mitosis and Meosis go through simlair stages to orgaznize and seperate chormosomes making them so similar.
