Mitosis | Meiosis |
Cell only divide once | Cell divide twice Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2 |
It takes place in somatic cells | It takes place in gametes |
There is no crossing over between chromosomes | Crossing over between sister chromatid takes place |
Same number of chromosomes are transferred to daughter cells
| Number of chromosomes are reduced to half in daughter cells |
Two daughter cells are the result of Mitosis | Four daughter cells are the result of meiosis |
Mitosis is for growth and repair of the cells of body | Meiosis is for sexual reproduction
