It involves a series of tightly regulated and organized steps that lead to the formation of two daughter cells. These\u00a0<strong>genetically identical daughter cells<\/strong>\u00a0(genetically identical to the parent cell) contain an equal number of\u00a0chromosomes. Mitosis is known to aid several processes like tissue growth, maintenance, and\u00a0asexual reproduction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cell division Meiosis:<\/strong>\u00a0Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in only germinal cells (egg and sperm cells) and not in somatic cells. This type of cell division is specifically designated for\u00a0sexual reproduction\u00a0in reproductive cells. It consists of two successive divisions that eventually result in the production of 4 daughter cells (or 4 gametes). These daughter cells are<em>\u00a0\u201cgenetically different\u201d<\/em>\u00a0from the parent cell. Also,\u00a0gametes\u00a0don\u2019t contain an equal number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Each daughter cell is composed of\u00a0<em>\u201chalf the number of chromosomes\u201d<\/em>\u00a0when compared to the parent cell. Meiosis is primarily responsible for genetic\u00a0variation\u00a0through processes such as genetic recombination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cell division Amitosis:<\/strong>\u00a0Amitosis is a less common type of cell division that\u2019s usually observed in some specific single-celled organisms or specific cells within multicellular organisms. It differs from\u00a0mitosis\u00a0and meiosis as it does not involve the\u00a0characteristic\u00a0formation of a\u00a0mitotic spindle\u00a0apparatus or the precise separation of chromosomes.
