mitosis / cell divisionMitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cellsthat occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell divisionmitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

MEOSIS :
 * IT IS A SPECIAL TYPE OF CELL DIVISION THAT REDUCES  THE CHROMOSOME NO. TO HALF .
  • IT IS SEXUAL
  •  HAS TWO DIVISION 
  • MOTHER CELL ALWAYS DIPLOID 
  •  GENETICALLY DIFFERENT 
 MITOSIS: CELL DIVIDES INTO 2 PRODUCING  A REPLICA .
        * ASEXUAL 
       *  GENETICALLY DIFFERENT 
        * CROSSING OVER CANNOT OCCUR
