Solution

Mitosis is the cell division that leads to growth, development, repair, and replacement of cell.
Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in the generation of gametes (sex cells).
Mitosis
Meiosis
1. Number of daughter cells formed at the end of cell division is two. 1. Number of daughter cells formed at the end of cell division is four.
2. It is also known as additional division. 2. It is also known as reductional division.
