In multicellular plants and animals, however, meiosis is restricted to the germ cells, where it is key to sexual reproduction. Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg)
Explanation:
Mitosis is for growth and repair. One cell becomes two daughter cells with each containing 46 chromosomes and retains the exact feature of that cell.
Meiosis is for reproductive cells. One cell becomes four daughter cells with each containing 23 chromosomes and all the sex cells undergo genetic recombination (Pachytene) to ensure genetic variation.
Hope it helps you ☺️❤️
