Detailed explanation-1: -Two diploid daughter cells are formed are formed at the end of mitosis. The daughter cell have the same chromosome number as that of the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since mitotic cell division results in the formation of new cells which are clone to the parental cell, the resulting daughter cells at the end of mitosis are diploid.

Detailed explanation-5: -During mitosis the sister chromatids separate and go to opposite ends of the dividing cell. Mitosis ends with 2 identical cells, each with 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content.
