The purpose of mitosis is to produce two daughter cells identical to the original cell. If a diploid (2n) cell undergoes mitosis successfully, the two daughter cells should also be diploid (2n). If a haploid (n) cell undergoes mitosis successfully, the two daughter cells should be haploid (n).
Meiosis occurs only in sexually reproducing organisms. Depending on the organism, it may produce haploid gametes, which do not divide further but instead fuse to produce a diploid zygote; or it may produce haploid spores, which divide by mitotic cell cycles and produce unicellular or multicellular organisms. In animals, where the somatic (body) cells are diploid, the products of meiosis are the gametes. In many fungi and some algae, meiosis occurs immediately after two haploid cells fuse, and mitosis then produces a haploid multicellular adult organism (e.g., filamentous fungi, algae) or haploid unicellular organisms (e.g., yeast, unicellular algae).
