similar- produce new cells & both start with a single parent cell.
difference- mitosis a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. however meiosis is where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing only half the original amount of genetic information. as well as meiosis being cell division for asexual reproduction & mitosis for sexual reproduction.
hope it helps <3
