What are the importance of meiosis mitosis?

Answer 1

Meiosis is different than mitosis in terms of the cell division number. During mitosis, chromosomes are duplicated once, and cell divides once, therefore each daughter cell has equal chromosome number which is also equal to the mother cells. During meiosis, chromosomes are also duplicated, cell division occurs twice consecutively, leading the half of the chromosome number in 4 daughter cells. This process is used for generating germ line cells, the gametes. When gametes from male and female parents meet, they form normal diploid chromosome number again.

Answer 2

They are important because they are the processes of cell division. Without cell division there would be little to no growth of living things. Cells would not be able to reproduce themselves and so everything would remain mostly on the one-cell level.

Answer 3

both of them result in new offspring or gametes vital to the survival of all organisms.

Answer 4

1.The diploid number of the species remains constant generation after generation

2.Genetic variations (new gene combinations)

Answer 5

Mitosis and Meiosis involve eating your own face. Without saying, this is very important to genetics.

Answer 6

The importance of mitosis is to replicate the DNA molecule to repair the damaged tissues in body cells whereas meiosis is to create variation within a species for a better chance at survival

Answer 7

Mitosis and Meiosis are the process of cell division. They help the cell divide. This happens when a cell becomes to old or there's more cells needed in a certain area of the body.
