What is the function of mitosis and meiosis?
Can you tell me about the function of mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Its function is to enable growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. Its function is to enable sexual reproduction.
