SAQ : Give one example of each type of cell division

Question

Give one example of each type of cell division.

Answer

Here is one example of each type of cell division:

1. Mitosis: Mitosis occurs in the skin cells of animals during wound healing or tissue repair. For example, when you get a cut, the skin cells undergo mitosis to replace the damaged tissue and heal the wound.
2. Meiosis: Meiosis occurs in the ovaries and testes of animals during the formation of gametes (eggs and sperm). For example, during human reproduction, meiosis occurs in the ovaries of females to produce mature eggs, and in the testes of males to produce mature sperm.
