Study Notes
Cell Division in Eukaryotes
- There are two types of cell division in eukaryotes: mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis
- Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells.
- It involves the division of a parent cell into two daughter cells.
- The purpose of mitosis is to produce two genetically identical cells for growth, repair, or replacement of cells.
- Mitosis occurs in the cell cycle during interphase, before the cell enters the mitotic phase.
Meiosis
- The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, ensuring genetic diversity in offspring.
