…both insure different things like Mitosis insures that all daughter cells are genetically identical, while Meiosis insures that it will generate genetic diversity through the crossing over and random separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes. Mitosis…

…infectious peritonitis (F.I.P.) occurred in the cheetah community. Cheetahs are difficult to breed and they are at risk of getting many diseases. Studies show that even wild cheetahs have very little genetic diversity. They went through a “genetic bottleneck…
