    Mitosis Vs Meiosis: Function

    Uploaded by

    Hari Nirmal
    Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and occurs in multicellular organisms for general growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. It involves one cell division and results in two diploid cells with identical genetic content. Meiosis produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells through two cell divisions and occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to create genetic diversity. It reduces the chromosome number by half and involves genetic recombination through crossing over during prophase I.
