Meiosis includes two steps of division, compared to the single step of Mitosis. During the process of meiosis,the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, while in mitosis, they remain the same. Also, mitosis produces 2 diploid cells, while meiosis produces 4 haploid cells.

The similarities between meiosis and mitosis are as follows:
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Mitosis is the type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells each with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell.
- They both take place in the cell nuclei and can be observed under a microscope.
- Mitosis and meiosis occur in the M-phase of the cell cycle. They both have common stages: metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and prophase.
- Synthesis of DNA takes place in both cycles.
