meiosis
Through meiosis, four haploid cells/gametes are made. Haploid cells/gametes are sperm and eggs. In humans, they each have 23 chromosomes so that when they unite, a zygote is formed. Also know that the cells after that are known as diploids because they have 46 chromosomes in each cell.
During the cell cycle, mitosis is the process by which a cell duplicates into two genetically identical daughter cells. During mitosis, chromosomes in the cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets
Meiosis accounts for species diversity. Meiosis results in four rather than two daughter cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes. Meiosis is responsible for producing gametes or sex cells.

Mutations result in formation of genetically different cells.
Gametes!
four genetically different cells
Meiosis results in four genetically nonidentical daughter cells.
Mitosis results in two genetically identical daughter cells
Mitosis
2 daughter cells with the same genotype. (However, mitotic crossing over is not unheard of, in which case the 2 cells will not be genetically identical. )
Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis followed by cytokinesis results in four genetically non-identical, haploid daughter cells.
Mitosis results into two genetically identical daughter cells as the parent cell.
Sexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically different from the parent cells/organisms. Asexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically identical to the parent cells/organisms. Mitosis is the division of one nucleus into 2 genetically identical nuclei. Thus, it is asexual reproduction. On the other hand, meiosis results in 4 genetically different daughter cells. Thus, meiosis is an example of sexual reproduction.
This process is called cell division or mitosis.
Upon the process of splitting cells, mitosis means that the cell splits itself into two genetically identical cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions which result into four genetically different cells.
