Meiosis and cytoplasmic division are found in a, asexual reproduction of single -celled ocarioes, b, growth and tissue repair, c, sexual reproduction, or d, both a and b.
00:14
So, cytoplasmic division just means that when b -cell divides, you get two roughly equal -sized daughters.
00:21
Meiosis has two rounds of division, so you end up with four daughters.
00:29
And another important point about meiosis is, the parental cell, the original cell, is diploid, but the four daughters are hoploid.
00:40
So why does this matter? well, look at b, growth and tissue repair.
00:44
You don't want to have your daughter cells haploid there.
00:48
You want them to be identical to the parents.
00:52
So for somatic cells, you don't use meiosis, you use mitosis, because you get identical diploid daughters from that...
