wait so what mitosis

anonymous · Answer

Mitosis is simple cell division, ending up with two identical cells, each with both pairs of every gene. Is that correct?

somy · Answer

yeah you are so far correct

anonymous · Answer

ok so now what meiosis?

somy · Answer

i'd highlight 'genetically identical'

anonymous · Answer

or is it .. Mitosis is the process by which cells split to make identical cells.

somy · Answer

one of the very important differences between mitosis and meiosis is 
genetically identical or nonidentical cells as a result of the division process
