Mitosis results in the formation of genetically identical cells.
Meiosis results in the formation of sex cells.
Mitosis, also known as the division of vegetative cells, is a process whereby somatic cells divide to produce 2 morphologically and genetically identical daughter cells. The daughter cells are sometimes referred to as clones of the mother cell.
Meiosis, on the other hand, is a process whereby sex cells divide to produce 4 morphologically and genetically variable daughter cells. The daughter cells are genetically different from the mother cell because crossing over of genetic materials happens between non-homologous chromosomes at some points during the division.
The daughter cells produced in meiosis are also known as sex cells or gametes. They are capable of participating in fertilization to produce diploid zygotes.
