mitosis produces two cells with a full set of chromosomes from one cell and is for somatic (body) cells. meosis produces four cells with half the number of chromosomes from one cell. These "gametes" are eggs and sperm.

Mitosis maintains the number of chromosomes.
Meosis reduces the number of chromosomes to half.
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells.
Meosis occurs in reproductive cells.
No pairing of chromosomes take place during mitosis.
Pairing of chromosomes take place in meosis.
Two diploid cells are produced.
Four haploid cells are produced.

Mitosis is the method by which the majority of body cells duplicate, creating a daughter cell exactly like the original. Meoisis is the process by which during reproduction, a sperm of egg is produced with only 32 (half) chromosomes instead of 64. This allows the egg and sperm to unite forming 64 choromosomes and so part of the genetic structure from each parent is given to the offspring.

Mitosis is a process that generates two cells that each have a full set of identical genes and chromosomes, while meiosis is a process that divides genetic material in a way that results in the production of sex cells. Each sex cell produced by meiosis has only half the genetic material in cells produced by mitosis.
Mitotic division only undergoes one cell division, while meiotic division undergoes two. An exchanging of genetic material between chromosomes can only occur during meiotic division, which is called crossing-over. In mitosis, only 2 functioning cells are produced, while in meiosis, either 4 functioning sperm or 1 egg is produced. The genetic makeup of the final cells produced in mitosis is the same as the original, while in meiosis, the genetic material in the gametes (sex cells; sperm and egg) is highly variable, and each contains only half the genetic info as the original. Cells produced from mitosis are used in growth or replacement of body (somatic) cells, while the cells produced from meiosis are used to combine to form the zygote for reproduction.
Hope this helps! Fair winds.

both are involved in cell division.
in mitosis, the cell divides equally and the two new cells would be the exact replica of the orginal mother cell. this type of division occurs on almost all cells of the body.
in meiosis, upon division of the mother cell, each of the daughter cells would contain only half of the chromosomes of the mother cell. this type of division occurs on the body's reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells)

Mitosis is sexual and uses two different sex cells, both called gametes but are most known as eggs and sperm. However, meiosis is asexual and only needs one cell to multiply.

in case you took the time to think of this out, you would be responsive to the respond. Jesus substitute into the two completely guy and the only God in flesh. The mediator between guy and God is the guy Christ Jesus, this is, the humanity of Jesus. the identical financial disaster factors out that this is unusual for a mediator to be a mediator of one, yet God is one. So God grew to alter into the mediator Himself.
