Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis only requires one cell division to be complete. It results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The process is involved in growth, repair, and replacement of damaged or dead cells. This is different from meiosis, which involves two cell divisions and results in the formation of four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (gametes).
