What is the function of mitosis and meiosis?
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is the number of daughter cells produced, their ploidy, and their genetic diversity. Mitosis produces two daughter cells, each with the same ploidy and genetic information as the parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes and unique genetic information.
