Mitosis produces two diploid daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell through one round of cell division. It is related to asexual reproduction and maintains chromosome number. Meiosis produces four haploid gamete cells through two rounds of cell division. The gamete cells are not identical to the parent cell. Meiosis is related to sexual reproduction and cuts the chromosome number in half.

Comparing and Contrasting Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis Diploid parent cell replicates DNA then divides once to produce 2 diploid somatic cells that are identical to parent cell. Mitosis is related to asexual reproduction and chromosome number stays the same. Meiosis - Diploid parent cell replicates DNA then divides twice to produce 4 haploid gamete cells that are different from parent cell. Meiosis is related to sexual reproduction and chromosome number is cut in half. In other words: Mitosis: Type of division DNA Replicates before cell divides? Parent Cell Haploid or Diploid? 2n or n? Daughter cell Haploid or Diploid? 2n or n? # of divisions # of daughter cells produced Type of reproduction? Stability (identical) or variation (different) Somatic or gamete How does chromosome number change?
