Is mitosis a direct cell division?

Answer 1

mitosis occurs in the somatic cells-normal cells of the body and the meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells of the body.

as a result, mitosis results in cells containing the same number of sets of chromosomes as in the parent cell, while meiosis results in cells containing half the number of sets of chromosomes as the parent cell. for example, in humans, somatic cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set from the mother and one from the father. mitosis results in daughter cells containing two sets of chromosomes. germ cells (cells which will become eggs or sperm) also contain two sets of chromosomes, but then undergo meiosis, resulting in daughter cells that contain only one set of chromosomes.

Answer 2

No

Mitosis reslts in 2 identical cells, meiosis results in 4 cells with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

So mitosis produces 2 diploid cells, meiosis produces 4 haploid cells.

Mitosis is growth, meiosis is production of sex cells.

Answer 3

No, mitosis is a process in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It involves a series of steps that ensure each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material. Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.

Answer 4

there are two types of cell division

• direct cell division / amitosis- the constriction of the plasma membrane .
• mitosis -it includes four phases

Answer 5

Yes!
