Difference between mitosis and meiosis? |
Mitosis is simple cell division, ending up with two identical cells, each with both pairs of every gene.
Meiosis is cell division for gametes (sex cells). This is a two step process, and the four cells that remain each have half the normal cells, so that when the gametes fuse at conception, there will be a new organization of DNA, from both parents. |
