Meiosis is a special type of nuclear division which segregates one copy of each homologous chromosome into each new gamete. Mitosis maintains the cell's original ploidy level (for example, one diploid 2n cell producing two diploid 2n cells; one haploid n cell producing two haploid n cells; etc.).
Mitosis is the process by which a somatic cell replicates its entire set of chromosomes and then divides into two identical cells. Somatic cells include all cells other than reproductive cells. Mitosis occurs most frequently in early development, when you're growing very quickly. However, your cells continue to divide by mitosis throughout your lifetime as old cells die and new ones take their place.
