why is mitosis important
For growth especially in young plants, replenishes old and sick cells, maintain uniformity within species
what does plant cell lack to animal cell
Plant cells have no centrosomes, they lack centrioles for the aid and support of the mitotic spindle, animal cells divide everywhere, while plant cells only divide in a region called meristems
has 4 stages
Mitosis
Happens in germ cells
Meiosis
has 8 stages
Meiosis
for sexual reproduction
Meiosis
for cellular proliferation
Mitosis
Happens in somatic cells
Mitosis
Chromosome is halved in each cell and genetic variation is increased
Meiosis
2 diploid daughter cells
Mitosis
4 haploid daughter cells
Meiosis
Chromosomes number remains the same and genetic variation doesn't change
Mitosis
