Expert Solution
Step 1

Mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division . Mitosis is a normal cell division which is required for cell growth Where as meiosis occurs only in Gamut and is a reduction division . It consists of two subdivisions the first one is meiosis 1 which is the reduction division where the chromosome number is reduced to half and the second one meiosis 2 is the equational division where the numbers is equalisedm
