Question

I need help to understand mitosis

Expert Solution
Introduction:

Cell division is a process which involves the division of a mother cell to form two or more daughter cells. The cell division is a vital process and is required by the body to maintain the wear and tear of the body and also help in growth. These divisions are generally classified into two main types;

  • Mitosis 
  • Meiosis

This classification is based on the type of cell that undergoes cell division. If the cell that undergoes division is a germ cell the division is meiotic and for somatic cells the process of mitosis occur.
