Answer:

Mitosis helps it's growth, meiosis helps the next generation. One cell is divided into two daughter cells, two turns into four, and so on as the kitten becomes older it will increase in size. Meiosis creates the gametes (sex cells), in which allows the cat to reproduce fertile offspring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple explanation in 3 sentences, try to tweak some of this answer into your own words, some teachers trace back answers to their URL. Meaning you would be screwed.

Answer:

Mitosis helps in growth while meiosis helps to continue its generation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis both are the types of cell division which occurs in the body of living organisms. Mitosis is responsible for growth and development in the body of cat because in mitosis, one cell is divided into two daughter cells and again these two cells divided into four and so on which increases size of organisms, while meiosis is responsible for the production of sex cells in cat which enables them to continue its breeding and produce fertile offspring.
