The Mitosis is a process that precedes that of meiosis (cell division). In this process, the cell works on the reproduction of deoxyribonucleic acid within the nucleus of the cell, making two separate groups and this will lead to their reproduction. Mitosis is related to meiosis since it comprises one of the important phases of the latter, however, mitosis is not related to the reproductive system of the organisms with which it works, mitosis is one of the parts of cell growth of the bodies, the regeneration of cells and the production of natural defenses, but it does not participate in procreation, including mitosis is present in asexual living beings, such as plants, which do not have a relationship with another type of the same specimen to be able to reproduce like humans and animals.
Both processes have the same objective, to maintain and protect the original genome of the stem cell from which the specimen came. Every cell has a beginning and these processes promote the continuity of the original function. These cells are eukaryotic cells, which contain all the genetic information and hereditary material for the reproduction of the species. Mitosis as a complex process includes almost the same phases of meiosis, but in plants and some animals that use it for the regeneration of their tissues, they establish strong ties with meiosis, either by its way of separating or way of combining their tissues to fulfill their function.
Mitosis originates in the cytoplasm of the cell, through a process called cytokinesis, which consists of collecting DNA data from each of the cell's compounds to form another similar compound, in another cell complex. Mitosis acts as a transforming mirror of the stem cells, creating new components to give way to the replacement, improvement or regeneration of the cell under study. It is important to note that there are organisms whose reproduction process is based entirely on the concepts of mitosis and meiosis.
