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>

What happens if the pressure in an angler fish habitat decreases
patriot [66]
If you are referring to selection pressure, when the selection pressure decreases, there will be weaker forces of natural selection. The angler fishes without the favourable traits would not be that strongly selected against and vice versa. In some cases such as predation selection pressure, the population of angler fishes in the habitat may increase
