Mitosis versus meiosis. Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
Best Answer: In mitosis, the daughter cells are identical copies. There are two of them (the cell effectively splits into two). Mitosis usually produces body cells. In humans this is how we grow, and repair, as the cells effectively multiply. In meiosis, there are 4 cells and each of these has half the number of chromosomes (where a normal cell would have 23 pairs, the daughter cells here have 23 half pairs.
