Biology theory 5 (cell division in Eukaryotic cell)
This document provides an overview of cell division processes in eukaryotic cells, including mitosis and meiosis. It describes the key stages and outcomes of each process. Mitosis involves one nuclear division that results in two identical daughter cells. Meiosis involves two nuclear divisions that produce four haploid gametes with half the number of chromosomes, allowing for sexual reproduction. The stages of mitosis are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Meiosis has two rounds: meiosis I which separates homologous chromosomes, and meiosis II which separates sister chromatids. Mitosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair, while meiosis occurs in sex cells and combines with fertilization to
