Types of cell division in the human body:
Mitosis: In this process of cell division, a cell divides into two twin cells.
Meiosis: In this process of cell division, the parental chromosomes of the cell are decreased by half and four respective gamete cells are produced.
Mitosis and meiosis are the two distinct processes of cell division.
When people talk about "cell division," they typically mean mitosis, which is the process of creating new cells for the body.
The cell division process known as meiosis is what produces egg and sperm cells.
