Cell Division
Cell division is the process by which cells reproduce. The two main types are mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells and is used for growth and repair.
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
Meiosis
Meiosis produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes.
Example: Importance of Meiosis
Problem: Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?
Solution:
- Reduces chromosome number by half
- Ensures genetic diversity through recombination
