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.
Meiosis thus produces four cells, each of which contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Some or all of the four cells may become functional gametes or spores. Compare mitosis. Our Living Language : Meiosis is the process by which the nucleus divides in all sexually reproducing organisms during the production of spores or gametes.
