Answer: Mitosis form Eukaryotic cell, producing two daughter cells.

Meiosis also form Eukaryotic cell, producing four daughter cells

Explanation: In Mitosis it is important for your body for cell division to happen as it is also important for cells to divide to make more body cells, mitosis makes identical cells, so if your cells keeping dividing it keeps growing, it also duplicates the genetic material before splitting. Mitosis goes through

Interphase which one diploid cell chromosomes duplicate then goes into Prophase which the chromosomes (DNA) condense then

Prometaphase, which then the nucleus dissolves, mitotic spindle (microtubules) attaches to centromeres,

then Metaphase where the chromosomes align at the center of the cell, which

in Anaphase the Mitotic spindle pulls sister chromosomes to opposite sides,

in Telophase the mitotic spindle disappears nuclear envelope begins to reform, and cell division begins and

lastly in Cytokinesis, the cell the divides and two daughter cells form.

In Meiosis there are 23 homologous pairs haploid. Sex cells (ova and sperm) divide using the process of meiosis, only three chromosomes altogether. Homologous pairs stick together in meiosis, again, meiosis goes in stages,

in Interphase the diploid cell chromosome are the same in prophase I the chromosomes replicate, and homologous chromosomes pair together, then chromosomes are recombined and the nucleus dissolved and the mitotic spindle forms,

in Metaphase I the chromosomes align at the center of the cell and the homologs pair,

in Anaphase the mitotic spindle pulls the homologous chromosomes to opposite sides then moving

into Telophase the mitotic spindle disappears and the cell division begins,

lastly meiosis II begins and the cell divides and form two haploid daughter cells.
