Study Notes
Cell Division
- The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is the number of divisions that occur and the resulting daughter cells: mitosis involves one division, producing two identical daughter cells, while meiosis involves two divisions, producing four non-identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
- The daughter cells produced by mitosis have the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
- The term used to describe mitosis is somatic cell division, which is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair.
