Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).
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: -Thus, at the end of meiosis-II, four daughter cells are formed. Each cell has half the number of chromosomes present in the diploid cell. Each cell is identical as far as the number of chromosomes is concerned.
Detailed explanation-5: -However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell. Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.
