Year three was a hell of a lot harder than year one in primary school. lol you are taking to the extreme but i have heard some freinds say that second year is the hardest for some reason. (Original post by Aspiringlawstudent).
In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set.
Also, mitosis results in 2 daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell, and meiosis results in 4 daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. The difference between them is that mitosis reproduces 2 genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces 4 genetically different haploid cells.
