Write the significance of Mitosis / Meiosis
Significance of Mitosis: The distribution of an equal number of chromosomes to the daughter cells maintains a constant chromosome number. Mitosis increases the number of cells so it contributes to growth. Significance of Meiosis: Meiosis brings genetic crossing over and random distribution of paternal and maternal chromosomes to daughter cells. Recombination produces variations and variations are the sources of organic evolution.
