Answer:
A. Similarities between mitosis and meiosis include:
both are processes of cell division or the creation of daughter cells from a parent cell
both go through the phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase and cytokinesis
both use most of the same machinery of cell division including centrosomes, spindle fibers, etc.
B. Differences between mitosis and meiosis include:
Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction to make four haploid (n) daughter cells from one parent cell.
Mitosis is used for growth, replacing old cells, and asexual reproduction. One parent cell makes more
Meiosis happens in two stages, or two rounds of division, known as meiosis I and meiosis II. Mitosis only involves one round of division, or division of the cytoplasm.
During meiosis, crossing over occurs, which increases the genetic variation of gametes. This does not happen in mitosis.
