Answer: Mitosis: - Produces body somatic cells,
- occur in all organisms except for viruses,
- only has one cell division (ends with 2 daughter cells)
- replaces body cells with exact copies (daughter cells genetically identical)
Meiosis: - Produces sex/germ cells,
- occurs only in animals, plants and fungi.
- has two cell divisions (ends with 4 daughter cells),
- creates genetically different sex cells that can be used to create an entirely new organism (daughter cells genetically different)
