Mitosis divides once because it is the starting process of the development of the cell. Where as meiosis divides twice since it is trying to duplicate the cells to create two new daughter cells for the creation process in species.

Is disploid the second stage of meiotic division?

No, "disploid" refers to a state where an organism has two sets of chromosomes. Meiotic division is a process that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, known as haploid cells. So, disploid is not the second stage of meiotic division.

How would you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?

Human mitotic cells undergo cell division to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In contrast, human meiotic cells undergo two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiotic cells are involved in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction, while mitotic cells are involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
