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.
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
