The three main differences between meiosis and mitosis are:
The phases found in both meiosis and mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, there are two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II), while mitosis only involves one round of division.
In mitosis, the offspring is a perfect copy of it's parent. In meiosis, the offspring is different. We are the result of meiosis. BTW I learned that about 1 week ago in Science 7. Wow. I guess these dumb classes can be useful if you go around answering random questions on Answers.com. :) -<3 Purple415 <3
Both meiosis and mitosis are processes of cell division that involve the duplication and distribution of genetic material. They both involve the replication of DNA, followed by the separation of chromosomes into daughter cells. Finally, both processes occur in eukaryotic cells.
Before the Meiosis takes place, there is another process Mitosis which takes place, the process of mitosis produces 2 daughter cell and than meiosis doubles the cells, therefore the process of meiosis combinely produces 4 daughter cells from 1 parent cell.
Three cellular processes are cell division (including mitosis and meiosis), protein synthesis (transcription and translation), and cellular respiration (producing energy from nutrients).
The origin of meiosis does not have one widely accepted theory. There is a theory that meiosis is an adaptation of mitosis. However, this theory does not have a lot of support. There are several mechanisms that are similar in mitosis and meiosis, for example they go through similar phases of prophase, metaphase, etc. Mitosis is believed to have originated about 3 billion years before meiosis. However, there are also important differences. The most obvious difference is the end result - mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.

Mitosis! :D Meiosis results in 4 sex cells. :3
Mitosis. Mitosis ends with two complete cells. Meiosis ends with either four sperm cells or a single egg cell (and the other 3/4 of the material dies and is used as food by what is left). So growing new cells to repair tissue in the body is mitosis, not an example of meiosis.
Before the Meiosis takes place, there is another process Mitosis which takes place, the process of mitosis produces 2 daughter cell and than meiosis doubles the cells, therefore the process of meiosis combinely produces 4 daughter cells from 1 parent cell.
meiosis and mitosis do not work together because they replicate different types of cells. They are different because (1) the number of daughter cells produced after the end of the cycle (2) meiosis goes through 2 stages while mitosis goes through one and (3) they both reproduce different types of cells.

The four stages of Mitosis is: Prophase: the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes. Metaphase:the stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle fibers Anaphase:The stage of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes move to opposite ends of the nuclear spindle fiber. Telophase: The final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the chromosomes of daughter cells are grouped in new nuclei.
