Answer:

Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas

  • This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.

Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages

  • This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.

Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction

  • This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.
