Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the duplicated copies of genetic material (chromosomes) are separated and distributed equally into two daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of multicellular organisms. Nucleosome and histone are both involved in DNA packaging within the nucleus, while meiosis is a different type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
