Mitosis is the process in where cells are made throughout the body.

The process is called IPMAT, this stands for

Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Mitosis makes different cells with different functions for specific body functions except for the sex gametes.

Meiosis on the other hand makes the sex gametes and its process is the same except it is repeated twice. It is called IPMATPMAT

Interphase

Prohase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Meiosis can only make sex gametes and nothing more.

How are meiosis and mitosis alike and different?

Mitosis and meiosis are alike in that they both are a kind of cell division. They are different in that mitosis produces two cells identical to the original, while meiosis produces cells that only have half the chromosomes of the original. Meiosis ends up with haploid cells, while mitosis end up with diploid cells.

After a cell undergoes mitosis how are the two new cells alike?

the two cells are alike because the mother cell had 2 pairs of each strand of DNA for the two daughter cells. Each daughter cell has the same DNA to carry on the species and to preform mitosis again.
