Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. The division of a cell occurs once in mitosis but twice in meiosis. Two daughter cells are produced after mitosis and cytoplasmic division, while four daughter cells are produced after meiosis.
Q. How many steps are in mitosis?
Today, mitosis is understood to involve five phases, based on the physical state of the chromosomes and spindle. These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

four
Q. Does mitosis have 4 stages?
Divide into four phases the reproduction process of chromosomes in plant and animal cells. Mitosis has four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Q. What is example mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of dividing a cell and its nucleus into two cells which each have their own nucleus. An example of mitosis is the way the skin cells covering a child’s body all multiply while they are growing. Prior to mitosis, each chromosome is replicated to form two identical strands (called chromatids).
Q. What is difference between mitosis and mitotic?
The process of cell division in which the chromosome number is remained same is known as mitosis. The daughter cell is exactly same as parent cell. The daughter cell is slightly different from parent cell.
Q. Does mitosis occur in asexual reproduction?
Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction in simple living organisms. The outcome of each cell cycle is two identical cells. Mitotic checkpoints happen at certain stages of mitosis to ensure that each cell receives the same amount of DNA. Sexual reproduction happens through meiosis.
Q. Is haploid mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells. Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells. The old name for meiosis was reduction/ division. Meiosis I reduces the ploidy level from 2n to n (reduction) while Meiosis II divides the remaining set of chromosomes in a mitosis-like process (division).
