a. Explain how mitosis and meiosis are similar in their processes or mechanism using two examples. b. Explain how mitosis and meiosis are different in their processes or mechanism using two examples. **Please stay away from superficial statements such as both are a type of cell division. We are asking for a more detailed example based on how the cells proceed through the processes which has been highlighted in discussions, videos, and readings.
