difference between Mitosis and meiosis
Answers
Answer :
Mitosis gives two nuclei, and hence two cells, while meiosis gives four. Mitosis gives identical cells to each other and to the mother cell, while meiosis leads to genetic variation due to crossing over and independent assortment.
Mitosis consists of one stage whereas meiosis consists of two stages. Mitosis produces diploid cells (46 chromosomes) whereas meiosis produces haploid cells (23 chromosomes). Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells.

Answer:
MITOSIS:
1. it is also called equational cell division
2. it gives out two daughters cell
3. daughter cell have same chromosome number with parent cell
4. it occurs in somatic cell
5. it is mainly for growth and development
6. it is completel in one step
7. it does not create variation
MEIOSIS:
1. it is also called reductional cell division
2. it give out four daughters cell
3. daughter cell have half of chromosome number from parent
4. it occurs in Germ /sex cell
5. it is for the formation of cell (egg/sperm).
6. it is complete in two steps such as meiosis I and meiosis II
7. it create variation due to crossing over.
