Miosis is constriction of the pupil of the eye. It is the normal reaction to an increase in the amount of light entering the eye, but can also be linked to pathological conditions, microwave radiation exposure and certain drugs.
Please see the related question "What is Meiosis?" for information on cell division. Also, see "What is Mitosis?".

∙ 10y agoMiosis is a conditions of the eye where the pupils of the eye remain abnormally dilated. It can be caused from substance abuse, certain medical conditions such as s stroke or seizure. This is often confused with "meiosis" which is a form of cell division. Meiosis is the processes by which cells divide and produce two exact copies of themselves.

Miosis and mitosis
What are the two types of cell divsion?
Mitosis and Miosis
How are miosis and motosis different?
Miosis is a process of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes, whereas mitosis is a process of cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Miosis is involved in sexual reproduction, whereas mitosis is involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
What type of cell does miosis make?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, which are reproductive cells. In humans, meiosis creates sperm cells in males and egg cells (oocytes) in females.
Do human use mitosis or miosis?

How do you divided cells?
Cell division is a process in which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. This can occur through two main methods: mitosis, which results in two identical daughter cells, or meiosis, which results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Cell division is essential for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms.
Which opioid do not cause miosis?
miperidine
Why is miosis a necessary step in sexual reproductive?
Miosis (a pupil function) is not. Meiosis is, it's the step where the sex (haploid) cells are formed.
Which part of the plant does miosis occur?
Meiosis occurs in the reproductive structures of the plant, specifically in the flower within the pollen grains and ovules.

Miosis is important because it doubles the cells, and making them hold totally different chromosomes.

miosis
