Answer:

The number of nuclei formed in mitosis is 2. In mitosis, a single cell divides and gives rise to two genetically similar cells. The number of nuclei formed in meiosis is 4. In meiosis, one cell divides first by reduction division and form two haploid cells ant then these haploid cells undergo mitosis to give rise to four haploid cells.

The number of chromosomes in mitosis remains the same in daughter cells in mitosis because the DNA is replicated in the interphase of mitosis so that chromosome number is not reduced during mitosis. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in meiosis. There is not DNA replication in the interphase of reduction division.
