Solution

Mitosis Meiosis

Number of daughter cells produced

During mitosis two daughter cells are produced. During meiosis four daughter cells are produced.

Chromosome number in the daughter cells

A complete set of chromosomes is passed on to each daughter cell. Only half the number of chromosomes are passed on to each daughter cell.

Each cell has a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. Each cell has a haploid (n) number of chromosomes.
