What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?

Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.
