Answer: Mitosis and meiosis are nuclear division processes that occur during cell division. Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. The division of a cell occurs once in mitosis but twice in meiosis.

Mitosis creates a diploid duplicate of the parent cell that is genetically the same as its parent cell, and meiosis creates haploid cells that are genetically different than their parent cell.
