Mitosis is that type of division in which
chromosomes replicate and become equally
distributed both quantitatively and qualitatively
into 2 daughter nuclei so that the daughter
cells come to have the same number and type
of chromosomes as are present in the parent
cell. It is therefore also called equational
division. Mitosis occurs in the formation of
somatic body cells and is hence often named as
somatic cell division.
It is the most common method of division
which brings about growth in multicellular
organisms and increase in population of
unicellular organisms. Uncontrolled mitotic
division leads to cancer.
Meiosis is a double division which occurs in a
diploid cell and gives rise to 4 haploid cells
each having half the number of chromosomes
as compared to the parent cell.
