Meiosis is a form of cell division that produces gametes in humans these are egg cells and sperms, each with reduced or halved number of chromosomes.
A cell with 2 copies is called a diploid cell with 1 copy is called a haploid cell.
Meiosis produces haploid daughter cells which are genetically different from each other and the parent cell.
Mitosis is the form of cell division that produces daughter cells identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis has 2 divisions, while Mitosis has 1 division.
But both divisions have the stages:
- interphase
- prophase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- and telophase
