Explain the major difference between mitosis and meiosis using the following (1 division, 2 divisions, 2, 4, genetically different, genetically identical, diploid, haploid,) -8 pts

In mitosis, a single i.e 1 division takes place. In meiosis, two divisions occur.

As a result of mitosis, 2 daughter cells are formed. As a result of meiosis, 4 daughter cells are formed.

As a result of mitosis, the two daughter cells formed are genetically identical to the parent cells. As a result of meiosis, the four daughter cells formed are genetically different from one another and from the parent cells.

As a result of mitosis, two diploid cells are formed. As a result of meiosis, 4 haploid cells are formed.
