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 and meiosis differ in their end products. Mitosis results in two cells, each genetically identical to the original. Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four cells, none of which is identical to the original. Each new cell has only half as many chromosomes as did the original.
