Question

Which do you think is more important? Is it Meiosis or Mitosis?

Answer 1

Meiosis:

1. This type of cell division creates four daughter cells, each with half the amount of chromosomes.
2. These are the parent cell, similar to how gametes and plant spores are formed.
3. Meiosis ensures genetic variation in organisms that reproduce sexually.

Mitosis:

1. It is a form of cell division that occurs during normal tissue growth, in which two daughter cells have the same number.
2. The type of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
3. Mitosis is required for development and growth.

Both mitosis and meiosis are equally important for life.
