Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Mitosis has to do with the division of somatic or vegetative cells. Diploid parent cells divide to give rise to two diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. <em>Mitotic process is important for for wound healing, growth and development of living organisms.</em>

On the other hand, meiosis is concerned with the division of sex cells. Diploid parent cells divide t give rise to four haploid daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cells as a result of crossing over and recombination. Meiotic process is important in sexually reproducing organisms. <em>It ensures that the ploidy level of organisms are kept constant from one generation to the other.</em>

In mitosis, the first stage is prophase. The nucleolus disappears and the two centrosomes begin to form the mitotic spindle. The spindle xtends between two opposite poles f the cell. Next is the metaphase. The centromeres of the chromatid pairs align at the center of the miotic spindle. Then anaphase, the centromeres will split that separates the chromatid pair. They are now called chromosomes. The last phase is the telophase. The chromosomes will then form a thread-like chromatin and for ache envelope, a nucleoli appears. <span>The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.</span>

Discuss how microbial world is divided providing at least two unique features of each if the living group
RUDIKE [14]

Microorganisms can be divided into two groups:

1. Archea

• Archea are prokaryotic unicellular organisms without cell nucleus or other membrane bound-organelles.  

• Their membrane is built from ether lipids, which differs them from bacteria’s cell membrane.

•  

2. Bacteria

• Bacteria are also unicellular prokaryotic organisms.  

• Bacterial cell membranes are made from phosphoglycerides with ester bonds. Bacterial genome is in a form of circular chromosome.  

• They reproduce by binary fission or by budding.

Besides, prokaryotes (Archea and Bacteria) a large number of eukaryotes are also microorganisms. Unicellular eukaryotes contain organelles such as the cell nucleus, the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. Usually, they reproduce asexually by mitosis. An example of eukaryotic microorganism is Protist.
