Cell Cycle and Cell Division
Growth, repair and reproduction all depend on orderly cell division. This chapter in NCERT Class 11 Biology, Chapter 10, follows interphase and the mitotic phase, with prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, cytokinesis, and the distinctive stages of meiosis I and II. It explains crossing over, chromosome segregation, significance of mitosis for growth and meiosis for gametes and variation. You will learn to identify stages under the microscope and see why errors in division can disturb development.
