Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of division occurs throughout life?
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some cells, like skin cells, are constantly dividing. We need to continuously make new skin cells to replace the skin cells we lose. Did you know we lose 30, 000 to 40, 000 dead skin cells every minute?

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The type of cell division that occurs during gamete formation is meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single diploid cell. Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body. It is essential for our body’s growth, development and repair.
