Explain mitosis and meiosis

1.	Explain mitosis and meiosis
Answer» thanks yogita \tMeiosis is the form of nuclear cell division that results in daughter cells that have one half the chromosome numbers as the original cell.\tIn organisms that are diploid, the end result is cells that are haploid. Each daughter cell gets one complete set of chromosomes, i.e., one of each homologous pair of chromosomes.\tIn humans, this means the chromosome number is reduced from 46 to 23.\tThe only cells that undergo meiosis will become sperm or eggs.\t\tMitosis is a continuum process of cell division which occurs in all types of living cells.\tMitosis\xa0involves\xa0four basic phases –\xa0prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.\tMitosis is the process where the division of cell occurs by asexual reproduction.\tIn mitosis, the nuclear membrane is broken down, spindle fibres (microtubules) attach to the chromatids at the centromere and pull apart the chromatids.
