Both meiosis and mitosis are types of cell divisions. Meiosis occurs in germ cells or reproductive cellswhile mitosis occurs in both reproductive cells and body or somatic cells. The former is called as reduction dision as it results in reduction of total number of chromosomes in the daughter cells, in order to maintain a constant chromosome number thereby race is maintained. The latter is called as multiplication division or replica division as the two daughter cells produced resembles the parent cells. Mitosis occurs in order to favour growth and differentiation of an organism.

Is it both animal and protists cells undergo miosis?
No its animal cell which undergo meiosis. Even only germ cells in animals undergo meiosis to provide half the no. of chromosomes in their gametes so tht they can maintain the exact no. of chromosomes in cells
How are sex cells transford during sex?
The males sex cells (sperm) and the females sex cells (eggs) have 23 chromosmes each. Humans are made up of 46 chromosomes and so when the sperm cell implants the egg it comes together to create 46 chromosomes which make up a normal human. The cells then start to develop rapidly and form a zygote, which is considered the first form of a human and then starts to develop more human qualities such as feet, toes, hands, fingers etc. and becomes a Foetus. If you want more information and detail on the actual transformation and joining of sex cells look up Miosis. Miosis is the multiplying and division of sex cells.
What is the medical definition of Miosis?
The medical definition of Miosis is contraction of the pupil in the eye. You can learn more about Miosis online from the Wikipedia. Once on the page, type "Miosis" into the search box at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.
What are the stages of miosis?
The stages of miosis is the stages as well as mitosis but moisis does the stages again after the 2 duaghter cells seperating so miosis is pratically mitosis but after the 2 duaghter cells seperating

Why is miosis a necessary step in sexual reproductive?
Miosis (a pupil function) is not. Meiosis is, it's the step where the sex (haploid) cells are formed.

Miosis

Why the process of miosis and meiosis are both important to a living organism?
Miosis is important because it doubles the cells, and making them hold totally different chromosomes.

miosis
