Compare mitosis to meiosis, distinguishing how these processes are similar and different. give examples of cells that undergo mitosis and those that use meiosis.

Both mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division, but they both function differently, and give different results.

Mitosis involves a parent cell duplicating its genetic information and dividing once to give 2 identical daughter cells that are genetically identical to both the other daughter cell and the parent cell.

Meiosis is where a parent cell first duplicates its genetic information, then swapping these genetic information, and dividing twice, so it gives 4 daughter cells that only have half of the chromosome number comparing to the parent cell and they're all genetically different.

Since mitosis gives identical daughter cells, they're used in growth, repair, etc. So examples of cells that undergo mitosis includes muscle cells, skin cells, etc. Meanwhile, since meiosis gives genetically different cells that only have half of the normal chromosome number, they're usually only used in producing sex cells, so that when 2 sex cells fuse together they'll end with a zygote that have the normal chromosome number rather than duplicated number. So examples of cells that undergo meiosis include sperms or eggs in human, or anther in flowering plants.
