Meiosis goes though genetic separation two times and Mitosis goes through one time
In
meiosis homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical.
In
mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

Meiosis is two rounds of genetic seperation while, mitosis only has one. Both of these process of cell division and replicating is associated with cytokinesis.The end result of both are daughter cells produced from a parent cell
