Hello student,
Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell division, but they serve different purposes.
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, used for growth and repair of the body.
Meiosis, on the other hand, produces four genetically unique daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, and is essential for sexual reproduction.
