Understanding Meiosis and Mitosis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781639875566)

Meiosis and mitosis are the processes of cell division that are studied in cell biology. Meiosis is a type of cell division that is used to produce gametes like sperm or egg cells. It is used by sexually reproducing organisms. This process includes two rounds of cell division that leads to the formation of four cells with one copy of each chromosome. Mitosis is the process in which chromosomes are replicated into two new nuclei. This results in cells that are genetically identical and which retain the same number of chromosomes. It is concerned with the transfer of parent cell's genome into two subsequent daughter cells. The processes of meiosis and mitosis differ in two aspects. These are recombination and the number of chromosomes. The topics included in this book are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and studies related to this field have been included herein. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
