Mitosis is a type of cellular reproduction where a cell will produce an identical replica of itself with the same number and patterns of genes and chromosomes. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a special process in cellular division where cells are created containing gene patterns of different types and combinations with 50% of the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction of organisms to combine male and female, through the spermatozoa and egg, to create a new, singular biological organism. Mitosis is used by single celled organisms to reproduce, or in the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and membranes.

Meiosis Meiosis takes place in asexual reproduction,chromosome number remain same i.e in diploid nature Mitosis Mitosis takes place in sexual reproduction ,reduction division takes place and chromosome number becomes half i.e haploid nature.
