Did you know that despite their differences, the processes of cell replication and gamete production actually share a common aspect? Both processes involve a type of cell division called mitosis. Mitosis is a fundamental process in which a cell divides and produces two identical daughter cells. While cell replication primarily occurs in somatic cells for the growth and maintenance of an organism, gamete production, known as meiosis, generates specialized reproductive cells that combine during fertilization to form new individuals. Despite their ultimate goals, the utilization of mitosis highlights the intricate connection between cell replication and gamete production.
