Name the two stages of photosynthesis.
The light reaction and the dark reaction (Calvin Cycle).

What is the critical difference between meiosis and mitosis?
MEIOsis cuts the number of chromosomes in half, giving reproductive cells the ability to combine and have the proper number. MITOsis keeps the total number of chromosomes at 46 for both cells when they split.
