Answer:

Mitosis is the process by which body cells divide and multiply. Through mitosis, a parent cell will split into two daughter cells, each containing 46 chromosomes.

Meiosis is the process by which sex cells divide and multiply. Through meiosis, a parent cell will split into four daughter cells, each containing 23 chromosomes.

Hope this helps! :)
