importance of mitosis and meiosis?

Answer 1

Mitosis is important because it divides up the duplicated DNA into two exactly equal nuclei when cells divide. This ensures that each daughter cell has a full copy of the organism's DNA.

Meiosis is important because it divides up the duplicated DNA into four nuclei that have half the original number of chromosomes. This happens during two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II, and it only happens in the cells that are producing gametes which are reproductive cells. It's important because a gamete with half the original number of chromosomes can join with another gamete with half the original number of chromosomes to make a new individual that has the right number of chromosomes again - only in a new combination that might give the individual an advantage in the environment.
