Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The main differences between mitosis and meiosis occur in meiosis stage I. For the most part, in mitosis, diploid cells are partitioned into two new diploid cells, while in meiosis, diploid cells are partitioned into four new haploid cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
