Here's why:
* Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This is because the chromosomes are duplicated before division, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
* Meiosis, on the other hand, is a process of cell division that produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is essential for sexual reproduction.
