*English is my second language so some words may be misspeled


in mitosis, similar chromosomes stand next to each other. When they break apart, each new cell gets one piece from both of the similar chromosomes. When a cell with two sets of chromosomes.divides, it creates two new cells that are exactly the same and also have two sets of chromosomes. These small parts in our cells come together during a specific process called meiosis, but they do not come together during another process called mitosis.
