mitosis is the normal mode of cell multiplication and increasing there number without a change in their constiution so it occurs in all the SOMATIC CELLS (normal cells of body not involved in sexual reproduction).\nmeiosis occur in gamete forming cells as it is the reductoinal division

I'm not a cellular biologist, but I do remember meiosis v. mitosis!  Try go ogle image search.  I found the following image on Go ogle.\n\nhttp://www.anselm.edu/homepage/jpitocch/genbio/meiosisphases.JPG\n\nYou would have to give credit to the original source if this is used for anything other than educational use.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis\n\nBecause meiosis is a "one-way" process, it cannot be said to engage in a cell cycle as mitosis does. However, the preparatory steps that lead up to meiosis are identical in pattern and name to the interphase of the mitotic cell cycle.

See the following link for an animation and explanation of Mitosis. Hope that helps. \n\nIn most cases mitosis occurs by the parent cell diving into daughter cells (usually 2).\n\nhttp://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm

Meiosis is the type of cell division by which germ cells (eggs and sperm) are produced. Meiosis involves a reduction in the amount of genetic material

Mitosis, also called karyokinesis, is division of the nucleus and its chromosomes.  It is followed by division of the cytoplasm known as cytokinesis.  Both mitosis and cytokinesis are parts of the life of a cell called the Cell Cycle.  Most of the life of a cell is spent in a non-dividing phase called Interphase.  Interphase includes G1 stage in which the newly divided cells grow in size, S stage in which the number of chromosomes is doubled and appear as chromatin, and G2 stage where the cell makes the enzymes & other cellular materials needed for mitosis.\n\nMitosis has 4 major stages --- Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. When a living organism needs new cells to repair damage, grow, or just maintain its condition, cells undergo mitosis.\n\nDuring Prophase, the DNA and proteins start to condense. The two centrioles move toward the opposite end of the cell in animals or microtubules are assembled in plants to form a spindle. The nuclear envelope and nucleolus also start to break up.\n\n\nProphase\n\nDuring Metaphase, the spindle apparatus attaches to sister chromatids of each chromosome. All the chromosomes are line up at the equator of the spindle. They are now in their most tightly condensed form.\n\n\nMetaphase\n\nDuring Anaphase, the spindle fibers attached to the two sister chromatids of each chromosome contract and separate chromosomes which move to opposite poles of the cell.\n\n\nAnaphase\nIn Telophase, as the 2 new cells pinch in half (animal cells) or a cell plate forms (plant cells), the chromosomes become less condensed again and reappear as chromatin. New membrane forms nuclear envelopes and the nucleolus is reformed.

"karyo" refers to the nucleus and "cyto" refers to the rest of the cell (as in cytoplasm). kinesis=motion

The importance of mitosis is the maintenance of the chromosomal set; each cell formed receives chromosomes that are alike in composition and equal in number to the chromosomes of the parent cell. Transcription is generally believed to cease during mitosis, but epigenetic mechanisms such as bookmarking function during this stage of the cell cycle to ensure that the "memory" of which genes were active prior to entry into mitosis are transmitted to the daughter cells\nMitosis is the process by which a cell separates its duplicated genome into two identical halves. It starts with cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm and cell membrane. This results in two identical daughter cells with a roughly equal distribution of organelles and other cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together is defined as the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle, the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, each the genetic equivalent of the parent cell. Mitosis occurs exclusively in eukaryotic cells. In multicellular organisms, the somatic cells undergo mitosis, while germ cells — cells destined to become sperm in males or ova in females — divide by a related process called meiosis.\nVR

Mitosis is the process of cell division.  Our cells are constantly dying off.  Mitosis allows living organisms to continue to survive by replacing the dying cells.

Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA\nMeiosis, is the process by which certain sex cells are created. If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells

Chromatids or sister chromatids.

Mitosis:\n\nOccurs during cell division of somatic cells\n\nA full set of chromosomes is passed on to each daughter cell. This s the diploid number of chromosomess\n\nthe choromosomes and genes in each daughter cell are identical.\n\nIf new organisms are produced by mitosis is asexual reproduction they will all resemble each other and their parents. they are said to form a 'clone'.\n\n\nMeiosis;\n\nOccurs in the final stages of cell division leading to production of gametes.\n\nOnly half the chromosomes are passed on to the daughter cells, i.e. the haploid number of chromosomes.\n\nThe homologous chromosomes and their genes are radomly assorted between the gametes.\n\nNew organisms produced by meiosis in sexual reproduction will show variations from each other and form their own parents.

what the hell are teachers doing these days?! making their science students write freakin acrostic poems!\n\nbut really its easy!\ntake a bunch of facts you know about cells, because in a poem for a class besides creative writing or maybe english, facts are most important. \nthen find a bunch of words that start with those letters in your lists. or just come up with words randomly and attach a fact to it. \n\nc, chloroplast, cellula, cork, convert\ne, every, enzymes\nl, likenesses, life, lipid\ns, structure, self-contained, self-maintaining\nblah blah blah

meiosis - cell divides but chromosomes are not duplicated. the product is two haploid cells with slightly different DNA (due to crossing over of chromosomes when they line up in metaphase)\nmitosis - cell divides into two identical daughter cells. if the mother cell is diploid, the two daughter cells will be too

Mitosis and Meiosis. Passing on genes of gamets and somatic cells. Evolution is a characteristic.
