    Mitosis and Meiosis Quiz

    Uploaded by

    Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell division. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell, while meiosis produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis has more steps than mitosis and involves two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid cells from one diploid cell. The key difference is that mitosis replicates DNA to produce identical cells for growth and repair, while meiosis creates sex cells like sperm and egg for reproduction.
