Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. Explain the main differences between these two processes and what types of daughter cells produced by each

The main differences between the processes are that mitosis occurs in somatic cells (diploid cells that give rise to organs and tissues), and meiosis occurs in germ cells (cells that give rise to gametes). In meiosis, only one cell division occurs, in which two daughter cells are produced.
