Meiosis produces two cells, while Mitosis produces four cells

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Diploid cells reproduce via mitosis creating daughter cells identical to the parent cells and each other. Haploid, on the other hand, reproduce via meiosis producing offsprings or cells different from other parent but containing a little bit of each parent and each cell different from the other.
Detailed explanation-3: -The difference between the two processes is that mitosis occurs in non-reproductive cells, or somatic cells, and meiosis occurs in the cells that participate in sexual reproduction, or germ cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -What’s the Difference? Mitosis produces two genetically identical “daughter” cells from a single “parent” cell, whereas meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from the parent and contain only half as much DNA. Most cells in the body regularly go through mitosis, but some do so more often than others.
Detailed explanation-5: -Haploid cells are formed by the process of meiosis. Diploid cells undergo mitosis. In the higher organism, such as humans, haploid cells are only used for sex cells. In the higher organism, such as humans, all other cells beside sex cells are diploid.
