Cell Cycle And Cell Division

Question

Wired Faculty App

Why is mitosis called equational division?

Solution

Mitosis is the process of cell division where there is an equal distribution of the chromosomes between the daughter cells. The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell, i.e., diploid. Therefore as the chromosome number is maintained thus, mitosis is known as equational division.
