What are the differences between meiosis and mitosis?
Mitosis creates 'normal' body cells, while meiosis creates sex cells, like sperm and eggs. After mitosis, there are two daughter cells. After meiosis there are 4. The daughter cells from mitosis have a the full normal number of chromosomes - in humans this is 46 in 23 pairs. After meiosis, each daughter cell has only 23 chromosomes.
