Key difference between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS
MITOSIS Your body contains trillions of cells (thousands of millions). But you started life as a single cell - a fertilised egg cell. This cell then divided and divided to make more cells through a process called mitosis. Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged. 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. https://www.scoop.it/topic/academic-writer-by-johncooper30/p/4109844240/2019/08/15/mitosis-vs-meiosis-the-key-differences-between-mitosis-and-meiosis Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then
