Only meosis

If it's cell division in normal body cells, then the daughter cells each have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Mitosis causes this.
If it's cell division to make body cells, then the daughter cells are reproductive cells with half the original number of chromosomes.

In mitotic cell division there are half the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells as opposed to the parent cell. In meiotic cell division the daughter cells and the parent cells contain the same amount of chromosomes.

The Same Number! The idea of cell divison is to have a copy of the previous cell. If the number were different, it would not be the same. Try going to some sites like Johnkyrk.com or dnaftb.org cellsalive.com is also a great explantion and it has a good visual.
They may help you understand. Good Luck!
If you could give me the best answer, I would appreciate it. Haha, I just really need the points. I am close to level 2!
