Question
Answer the following question.
Why mitosis and meiosis – II are called as homotypic division?
Solution
- In mitosis, the chromosome number and genetic material of daughter cells remain the same as that of the parent cell.
- In meiosis – II, two haploid cells formed during the first meiotic division divide further into four haploid cells. This division is identical to mitosis. The daughter cells formed in the second meiotic division are similar to their parent cells with respect to the chromosome number formed in meiosis – I. Hence mitosis and meiosis – II are called homotypic division.
