Chapter 9.1, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Meiosis is reduction division used for the formation of gametes in males and females, sperm and egg respectively. The meiotic division helps in keeping constant chromosome and gene number by producing haploid gamete which upon fertilization forms zygote with normal diploid chromosomal number. Mitosis is the cell division that results in formation of identical daughter cells and occurs throughout in the body for growth and repair of the cells.
