What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis concerns the division of cells within sexually reproducing organisms. It results in the formation of four daughter cells via meiosis I and meiosis II. These daughter nuclei are described as 'haploid' - containing half of the usual number of chromosomes.Mitosis, however, involves the division of cells resulting in the formation of two daughter cells, as opposed to four. These daughter cells will be diploid and genetically identical.
