Mitosis can occur in a diploid nucleus, that is, one containing pairs of chromosomes representing each of its parents or in a haploid one containing a single set of chromosomes. Meiosis, often called reduction division, yields four daughter nuclei with the number of chromosomes reduced to half the original number. The overall result is that one diploid nucleus becomes four haploid nuclei.

The Hyades are the stars about Aldebaran. But Aldebaran is not part of the physical Hyades cluster: it is a foreground star at about 60 lyr; the Hyades are at about 150 lyr---they are closest star cluster to Earth, except for the very spread out Ursa Major cluster.
