Meiosis occurs in diploid cells. The chromosomes duplicate once, and through two successive divisions, four haploid cells are produced, each with half the chromosome number of the parental cell. Meiosis occurs only in sexually reproducing organisms.
Diff: --Mitosis occurs in somatic cells and meiosis occurs in reproductive cells --dividing cells in mitosis can be either diploid or haploid but in meiosis, the dividing cells can only be diploid --in mitosis, two daughter cells are formed but in meiosis, four daughter cells are formed --mitosis helps in growth and in body repairs but meiosis helps in sexual reproduction ;) and regulation of the number of chromosomes
