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 makes two identical cells. Meiosis makes four different cells. Mitosis makes two cells with exactly the same number of chromosomes(diploid cells) Meiosis makes four cells with half the number of chromosomes (haploid cells) Mitosis only takes one step. Meiosis takes two steps. In addition to that meiosis is only used for gamete production (like eggs, or sperm).
