Significance of Mitosis & Meiosis | Class 11 Notes, MCQs  Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis showing stages of cell division and chromosome behavior in Class 11 Biology. - Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  🌿 Significance of Mitosis (Equational Division) Mitosis is a type of cell division where one cell forms two identical daughter cells . It is also called equational division because chromosome number remains the same. Mostly occurs in diploid (2n) cells . In some lower plants and social insects, even haploid cells can undergo mitosis . 📌 Main Importance of Mitosis Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells (same DNA as parent cell). It is responsible for growth of multicellular organisms . As cells grow, the nucleus-cytoplasm ratio gets disturbed . So, mitosis helps to restore proper nucleus–cytoplasm balance . 🌱 Role in Growth and Repair Mitosis helps in increase in number of cells → growth of body . It is essential for repair and replacement of wo...
