I think into two in mitosis and into four in meiosis.
Hope this helps.

How many times does the cell divide during mitosis?
In mitosis the cell divides once. The two cells, in some cases, may then divide again, but mitosis is just one cell dividing into two cells.
What are similarities and differences of mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis vs. MeiosisBoth mitosis and meiosis are mechanisms that describe cell division. The difference is particularly noticeable when one looks at the DNA in the cell's nucleus. After mitosis, each of the daughter cells will have exact same DNA strands, while after meiosis each daughter cell will only have half of the DNA strands. (Sometimes the division is not exactly half/half, but that is not important for this answer). Because meiosis only has half the information that the parent cell had, the cell is (as far as we know) unable to reproduce by itself. The reason for meiosis is for reproduction of a multi-cellular organism as well as genetic diversity due to crossing over. One daughter cell (from the male of the species) will try to find a compatible daughter cell (from the female of the species) and fertilize it. This then becomes and embryo and the specie has successfully reproduced. And this is how you, the reader, came into existence.Other characteristics:Parent cell - full set of chromosomes in both mitosis and meiosis (2n).Number of divisions - mitosis 1; meiosis 2.Chromosome number of daughter cells - mitosis full set (2n) and meiosis half set (n).Crossing over - mitosis no; meiosis yesPaired homologues - mitosis no; meiosis yesDNA of daughter cells - mitosis identical to parent; meiosis daughter cells differentNumber of DNA replications - mitosis 1; meiosis 2Number of daughter cells - mitosis 2; meiosis 4Type of cells - mitosis somatic; meiosis sex cells
How many times does the parent cell divides in mitosis?
Once, and then the two daughter cells can grow and later divide.
Is meiosis sexual or asexual reproduction?
I've been studying meiosis and mitosis a lot in class, and if theres one thing I've learned from all this jibber jabber, it's that meiosis occurs in sexual reproduction, and mitoses ioccurs in asexual reproduction. Another difference would be the fact that during meiosis, the cell divides 2 times and ends up as 4 new cells.... During mitosis, the cell will only divide once and it will end up in 2 new cells
How are cells that are form at the end meiosis different from those formed at the end of mitosis?
During meiosis, cell division is through sexual reproduction. This produces genetically different cells, under two divisions. The chromosome number is reduced by half. During mitosis, asexual reproduction during cell division creates genetically identical cells. The amount of chromosomes remain the same.
Meiosis divides the chromosomes in the nucleus how many times?
Two successive nuclear divisions occur, Meiosis I (Reduction) and Meiosis II (Division)
Why does the cell divide this many times in meiosis?
Meiosis divides twice since it is trying to duplicate the cells to create two new daughter cells for the creation process in species. It is the opposite of mitosis.
How many times does a cell devides in mitosis?
It divides once, and becomes 2 cells.
In mitosis how many times is the DNA copied?
In both mitosis and meiosis DNA replication only occurs once, during Interphase and Interphase 1, for mitosis and meiosis, respectively.
How many cells are present after cytokinesis (mitosis)?
Depends on what you are looking for. In mitosis, two daughter cells are produced after cytokinesis. In meiosis, there are two cell divisions that take place at two different times. One after meiosis I (which produces 2 intermediate cells) and one after meiosis II, which produces a total of four daughter cells.
How many times does the cell divide during mitosis?
In mitosis the cell divides once. The two cells, in some cases, may then divide again, but mitosis is just one cell dividing into two cells.
How many times chromosomes replicate in meiosis?
They replicate before meiosis begins, as it is the division phase. The chromosomes duplicate during interphase which is right before the beginning of meiosis. After going through meiosis I the chromosomes DO NOT duplicate nor do they cross over they simply continue on. Hope this helps. :)

What animal zygote divides to form .?
Animal zygotes divide to form more cells. The zygote divides itself many times by mitosis until an embryo is formed.
