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.
Daughter cells are cells that result from the division of a single parent cell. They are produced from the division processes of mitosis and meiosis. Cell division is the reproductive mechanism, whereby living organisms grow, develop, and produce offspring.
