How do the steps of meiosis differ from mitosis?

Answer 1

Produces 4 genetically variated haploid daughter cells

During meiosis, four daughter cells are produced, each of which has half as many chromosomes as the parent cell and random genetic variations.

Mitosis: produces two daughter cells with all of the parent cell's chromosomes and genetic identity.

In meiosis, there are two rounds of division, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while in mitosis, there is only one round of division, resulting in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Additionally, meiosis involves crossing over and genetic recombination, which does not occur in mitosis.
