Mitosis is the process of cell division that ensures equal distribution of chromosomes to two daughter cells. It involves stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Each phase is crucial for accurate chromosome replication and separation, maintaining genetic stability and enabling growth, repair, and development in multicellular organisms.
Meiosis is a specialized cell division process that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four unique gametes. It involves two sequential stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. This genetic shuffling increases diversity, which is essential for sexual reproduction and contributes to the genetic variation observed in offspring.
The cell cycle is a series of stages that cells go through to divide and reproduce. It includes phases: G1 (growth), S (DNA synthesis), G2 (preparation for mitosis), and M (mitosis and cytokinesis). The cycle ensures accurate DNA replication and cell division, crucial for growth, repair, and development.
