Mitosis versus meiosis. Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
cell division is a complex process that requires the temporary dissolution of the nuclear envelope. Eukaryotic organisms carry out mitosis throughout their entire life to grow and to replace old or damaged cells. Some eukaryotic organisms use mitosis to reproduce asexually. The daughter cells produced by mitosis are diploid and genetically identical to each other and the parent cells that produced them. CELL CYCLE = INTERPHASE + MITOSIS Cells only spend a small part of their life dividing. The time between consecutive mitotic
