State three differences between mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis gives two daughter cells while meiosis gives four. Mitosis keeps the chromosome number the same while meiosis halves it. Mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell, while meiosis produces genetically different cells because of crossing over and independent assortment.

No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.

Explanation

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells and meiosis only in the reproductive cells.
