Mention the difference between mitosis and meiosis with reference to:
The chromosome number of daughter cells formed.

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. Mitosis divides a cell into two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. 1. Meiosis, on the other hand, produces four distinct daughter cells, each with half the amount of chromosomes as the parent cell.
2. It is also known as additional division. 2. It is also known as reductional division.
