NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -A parent cell in mitosis is the starting cell for the process of cell division. Parent cells are named as such because they give rise to the progeny cells, called daughter cells. Many cell types in the body can be parent cells. For example, bone marrow stem cells are the parent cells for all types of blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other, and to the parental cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The gametes produced in meiosis are all haploid, but they’re not genetically identical.
