Answer:

Mitosis produces two diploma somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent cell.

Comparison of the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
