Both Mitosis and Mitosis 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 exactly the same DNA strands, while after meiosis each daughter cell will only have half of the DNA strands, sometime the division is not exactly half and half, but that is not really on the right subject.

Because meiosis only has half the information that the parent cell had, the call is unable to reproduce by itself. The reason for meiosis is for reproduction of a multi-cellular organism. One daughter cell, from the male of the sides, will try to find a compatible daughter cell, from the female side, and fertilize it. This then becomes an embryo and the specie has succesessfully reproduced.
