1. The document discusses the processes of cell division, specifically mitosis and meiosis.
2. Mitosis occurs in regular body cells and allows cells to divide in order to grow and multiply. It has four main phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
3. Meiosis occurs in gamete cells and reduces the chromosome count so that when an egg and sperm join during fertilization, the chromosome number is restored to the original count of 46. This maintains both genetic diversity and integrity.
