What is mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis is basically 2 cells that are identical to the parent cell

Meiosis is one cell that is like the parent cell

Mitosis mean a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Meiosis mean a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
