  • Mitosis chromosome number of parent and daughter cells is the same, Meiosis the chromosome number of daughter cells is half the number in the parent cell.
  • Mitosis offspring by mitosis are exact replicates or clones of the parent organism, Meiosis offspring produced by meiosis will show variations among themselves and their parents.
