Document Summary
Mitosis and meiosis are the cell division processes used by eukaryotic organisms because there is so much genetic information in eukaryotes. Nuclear division: mitosis, meiosis (covered in bsci106) Mitosis: separation of chromosomes during cell division in which two cells are produced, each genetically identical to the other and to the parental cell (haploid or diploid. Meiosis: a type of nuclear division that produces a new combination of chromosomes and genes, packaged in nuclei containing only half of the number of chromosomes found in the parental cell (diploid only) A controlled sequences of events in which a cell grows larger, then divides to form two smaller and. The point of mitosis is to make two identical daughter cells. Cycle must be complete at the right time and in the appropriate sequence. Each phase has to be completes before the next one is started. Cell has to be able to respond to external factors.
