Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the human life cycle, which involves growth, development, and reproduction. These processes require cell division to occur.

Recognize that nuclear division is a critical part of cell division, where the nucleus of a cell divides. There are two main types of nuclear division relevant to the human life cycle: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is the type of nuclear division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. It is essential for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of nuclear division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells. This process is crucial for sexual reproduction, as it produces gametes (sperm and eggs).

Understand that cytokinesis is the process that follows nuclear division, where the cytoplasm of a cell divides, creating two separate cells. It is not a type of nuclear division but rather a part of the overall cell division process.
