Store, Inc. by 11/2010 Please Meiosis and mitosis are
fascinating physiological processes through which cells reproduce. These processes have many similarities but they are also very distinct. Both mitosis and meiosis function to pass on genetic information
in the form of chromosomes. Chromosomes are long, subcellular threadlike structures found within the nuclei of most cells (in the case of bacteria which lacks a distinct nucleus the
chromosomes are found in the nuclear area). Both mitosis and meiosis are a means of passing on genetic information to succeeding generations of cells but they each accomplish the
purpose differently. In mitosis the goal is to create identical daughter cells but in meiosis the goal is to create a blend of the genetic information of two distinct
individuals. Mitosis occurs when a cell splits in half to produce two identical copies of itself. These copies
are referred to as daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells has the same number of chromosomes as was in the original cell and each is genetically identical to
the original cell. The way this is accomplished is through the cell producing copies of its genetic material prior to splitting (Endow and Glover, 1999). During cellular division,
the two sets of chromosomes are pulled apart, one set to one end of the cell, the other part to the other end of the cell (Endow and Glover, 1999).
