A cell division is a cellular process called mitosis which includes the division of a parent cell and the production of two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is very important in the developmental stages since it helps the developing organism to fastly produce all the new cells needed.

When a person becomes an adult, the growth process has been completed, yet the mitotic divisions continue to happen. That is because the human body needs cell division to replace old, worn-out cells and dying cells. Also, cell division is needed to repair any injuries or destructions.

True or False: Meiosis halves the chromosome number, whereas mitosis maintains the same chromosome number.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in the production of daughter cells with each cell having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is the cell division employed by reproductive cells to produce gametes/sex cells. Meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. Meiosis I and II. The chromosome number reduces by half in gametes in order to ensure that after fertilization of both male and female gamete, the resulting organism has the correct set of chromosomes. e.g diploid organism produces haploid gametes which fuses to produce a diploid organism again.

Mitosis is another type of cell division that results in identical daughter cells. They are identical in the sense that they possess the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell that divided. For example, a diploid cell undergoes mitosis to produce two diploid daughter cells.
