Mitosis is how the cells of your body reproduce. During mitosis a diploid parent cell makes a complete copy of its DNA before splitting in two. This process produces two genetically identical daughter cells and takes place across five phases. The five phases are: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Before mitosis can begin the cell must replicate its DNA. This happens during interphase, which happens over stages:

G1, S, and G2 of the cell cycle and it's not technically part of mitosis.

Meiosis is the process by which gametes are produced. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division and produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells.

# data[].attributes.body
One cell division

Produces two daughter cells

Produces diploid cells

Daughter cells are genetically identical

Produces body cells

No crossing-over occurs

Homologous chromosomes do not pair up

# data[].attributes.body
Two cell division

Produces four daughter cells

Produces haploid cells

Daughter cells are non-identical

Produces sex cells

Crossing-over occurs

Homologous chromosomes do not pair up

Mitosis and meiosis are similar process but there are key differences between the two.

Products of mitosis vs meiosis

Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells.

Cell types involved in mitosis vs meiosis

Mitosis involves the replication of somatic cells whereas meiosis is the process by which sperm and egg cells are produced.

Cell division in mitosis vs meiosis

Mitosis involves one round of cell division whereas meiosis involves two.

Genetic diversity in mitosis vs meiosis

Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells each containing a complete copy of the parent cells' DNA. Meiosis produces four genetically non-identical daughter cells which increases genetic variation among gametes.
