There are two types of cell division:
- Mitosis
- Meiosis
Mitosis
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
- DNA replication occurs once followed by a single division.
- The number of chromosomes is maintained in this type of division.
- This type of division happens in asexual reproduction.
- It is also used for growth, repair and regeneration of tissues.
Meiosis
This is a cell division in which a single cell divides into four haploid cells.
- DNA replication occurs once followed by two divisions.
- The numbers of chromosomes are halved in meiosis.
- Meiosis takes place in sex organs to produce haploid gametes.
- Thus, the gametes have only half the number of chromosomes in them.
- Clear all your doubts side by side.
