  • Mitosis vs. Meiosis: Understanding Cell Division and Cell Numbers
    Here's the breakdown of cell division and the number of cells produced:

    * Mitosis: Produces two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.

    * Meiosis: Produces four daughter cells. These cells are genetically different from the original parent cell and have half the number of chromosomes.

    In summary:

    * Mitosis: 1 cell -> 2 cells

    * Meiosis: 1 cell -> 4 cells
