Meiosis

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis II produces four haploid (n) cells. During each meiotic cell division, the same processes of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (P.M.A.T.)
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is the process by which most cells in the body divide, involves a single round of cell division, and produces two identical, diploid daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. This occurs by undergoing DNA replication (in S phase during interphase) where the monovalent chromosome is duplicated so that it will have two DNA strands that are replicas of each other.
