Explanation / Answer

Answer=

11] Difference in function between mitosis and meiosis as follows:

function of mitosis is that is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division)

The role of mitosis is cell regeneration,growth and asexual reproduction.Function of meiosis - is reduction of division here is reduction of ploidy i.e. number of chromosomes of gamete from diploid to haploid.

12] Gametes are not divide

Egg and sperm cells are formed as

Both male and female gametes are formed during the process of cellular reproduction called meiosis.

During meiosis ,the DNA is only replicated or copied one time.However the cells are divided into four separate cells.
