mitosis and meiosis I am confused :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well meiosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each with half the chromosome number of the parent cell and mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each the same as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

sorry..I mean process of meiosis and mitosis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mitosis is the process of the chromosomes dividing steps of mitosis prophase- chromosomes coil up and become visible metaphase- the chromosomes move toward the center anaphase- the cromatids are pulled apart telophase- a nuclear envelope forms around the chromosomes it is very essential that cells go through mitosis, so that each new cell contains the same gentic information. meiosis- is a form of cell division that halves the number of chromosomes in the gametes meiosis is pretty much the same as mitosis its just that is goes through the process twice males end up with 4 sperm- process spermatogenisis females end up with 4 eggs but the other 3 die due to being to small and lacking cytoplasm - process oogenisis it is also very essential that meiosis occurs, because reproduction would cease
