Cell division involves two main processes: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is responsible for the division of somatic cells, producing identical daughter cells. It consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis. In contrast, meiosis is crucial for the formation of gam

Watermelons undergo the processes of mitosis and meiosis to grow and reproduce. During mitosis, watermelons develop through interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, seeded watermelons produce gametes through prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. Both proc
