SSC MTS EXAM

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: -DNA replication occurs in both mitosis and meiosis. In meiosis, the cell undergoes two divisions, i.e. meiosis I and II. Meiosis I is reduction division and meiosis II is similar to mitosis but DNA replicates only once during meiosis, i.e. before meiosis I in S phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Use – Mitosis is used to clone body cells, while meiosis is used to generate sex cells (gametes) Genetics – Cells produced by mitosis are genetically identical (clones), while cells produced by meiosis are genetically distinct.
