What is the difference between mitosis and apoptosis?

Answer 1

Mitosis is the process by which new cells are formed whilst apoptosis is the process by which cells die

While apoptosis is defined as programmed cell death occurring naturally during growth, mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of identical cells. One example of apoptosis is the differentiation of fingers and toes, which is the outcome of apoptosis of the cells between the fingers and toes.

Mitosis is a process of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is a programmed cell death mechanism that occurs naturally in multicellular organisms. It is a controlled process where cells self-destruct in response to certain signals, such as DNA damage or developmental cues.
