NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another name for cell division is “mitosis.” If you study biology, you’ll learn about cell division, when a cell divides into two smaller “daughter cells.” During cell division, all the tiny elements of the cell also divide-including the cell’s chromosomes, nucleus, and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase I, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei. The cell now undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the original cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells have exact copies of their parent cell’s DNA, no genetic diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy cells.
