Mitosis creates two diploid daughter cells identical to the parent, while meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells that are genetically unique from each other and the parent.
Mitosis produces two diploid, genetically identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells that are genetically distinct from each other and the parent cell.
