Mitosis is the type of cell division in which cell a diploid somatic cell divides in such a way that the no. of chromosomes in the daughter cell remains constant as in parent cell nucleus. In mitosis, the nuclear chromatin first appears as long threads which shorten and thicken to form the typical number of chromosomes. Each chromosome splits lengthwise to double in number, with half of each set then moving toward opposite poles of the cell to become reorganized into two new nuclei having the normal number of chromosomes. Mitosis results in creating two cells that are genetically identical. It is vital for growth and the repair and replacement of cells, replacing old skin cells for example.

meosis is a process of cell division in which the cell divides and the number of chromosomes remained half at the end of the cell division.it has two phases.in first phase called meosis 1 first of all prophase takes place. PROPHASE:it is further divided in to 5 phases. 1.liptotene 2.pachytene 3.zygotene 4.diplotene 5.diakinesis these are some phases in which homologous chromosomes pairing takes place called synapsis.then they exchange their segments and chiasmata formation takes place due to this yhe chromosomes exchange their segments.then it become thick condensed visible and nuclear membrane disappear. METAPHASE:in this phase bivalent arrange themselves on equitorial plates. ANAPHASE:in this phase the centrioles moves on their owmn sides and thus these bivalents separated out TELOPHASE:nuclear membrane reappear and cytokinesis takes place. now again meosis 2 occurs in which the steps occur similar to mitosis.....................................................................so at the end 4 daughter cells of half chromosomes number are obtained
