Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
has 1 division
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
C
both
D
None of the above
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. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis involves one cell division, whereas meiosis involves two cell divisions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei, usually partitioned into two new cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes: one in the case of haploid cells, and two in the case of diploid cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
