and
Mitosis produces four (different, identical) cells that are (diploid,
haploid)

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.

Explanation:

Involves one cell division?

Results in two daughter cells

Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell)

Daughter cells are genetically identical

Occurs in all organisms except viruses

Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm)

Prophase is much shorter

No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase.

In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.

During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
