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.
Mitosis is the type of cell division which takes place during growth, repair and asexual reproduction. So the types of cells produced are normal body cells eg skin, brain, mus â¦ cle, bone, liver etc, in other words they are not reproductive cells. Cells produced by mitosis are exact copies of the parent cell: they have the same number of chromosomes and the same genes. Reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) are produced by the alternative type of cell division called meiosis.
