Question
Hey,
The textbook that I have (i'm a high school junior) has a terrible explanation of mitosis and meiosis. I've been scouring the Internet for a good explanation and I came to this site. So I was wondering if you could tell me in a not-so-complicated few paragraphs how mitosis and meiosis work?

Thank you so much!

Bella S.

Answer
Hi bella
Cell division is complicated and I really would need diagrams to help explain the steps.  You are wasting time scouting the internet for this information.  You need a good college biology textbook so you should head to the library where you will find everything you need in one place
