Mitosis vs. Meiosis: Side by Side Comparison

The video provides a side-by-side comparison of mitosis and meiosis, explaining their stages and significance. It starts with an introduction to the processes, followed by a detailed explanation of cell preparation and interphase. The stages of mitosis and meiosis are then discussed using the PMAT acronym, highlighting key differences and similarities. The video concludes with a summary of the processes and their importance in cell division.
