Mitosis doubles the cell, but at the same time keeping the number of chromomes equal.
16 chromosomes

In contrast , Meiosis divides the chromosomes number.

If 16 is its diploid number then 8 will be its haploid number (gametes).

However, when cells reproduce they reproduce fully. After mitosis you will have 2 cells that each have 16 chromosomes.

16 after mitosis
32 after meiosis

32, because there are two strands of DNA after mitosis
