Question

Compare and contrast what happens in mitosis and meiosis and discuss the importance of each process to a living organism.

Answer 1

Hi
The main difference is that Mitosis is used by single-celled organisms to reproduce; it is also used for the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and membranes. And, Meiosis is useful for sexual reproduction of organisms; The male and female sex cells, e.g. the spermatozoa and egg, fuse to create a new, singular biological organism.
