Question
Chapter 8, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The prevention of normal cells from diving when they are not required to.
Introduction:
Mitosis and meiosis are the two different ways that cells divide. Mitosis, the process of creating new bodily cells, is typically meant when the term "cell division" is used. The process of cell division that produces sperm and egg cells is known as meiosis. A crucial aspect of life is mitosis.
