Answer & explanation:
The main differences between the processes are that mitosis occurs in somatic cells (diploid cells that give rise to organs and tissues), and meiosis occurs in germ cells (cells that give rise to gametes).
In meiosis, only one cell division occurs, in which two daughter cells are produced. These daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell (46 choromosomes).
Mitosis, in turn, has two cell divisions, and four daughter cells are produced, which have half the amount of chromosomes in the mother cell (23 chromosomes).
