Why meiosis is not the type of cell division that produces new skin cells?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid cells (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes, which are involved in sexual reproduction. Skin cells are produced through mitosis, a type of cell division that results in two identical diploid daughter cells, and are involved in growth, repair, and maintenance of the skin. Meiosis is not suited for producing skin cells because it is specifically for generating gametes for sexual reproduction.
