Result Of Mitosis And Meiosis. Meiosis is a two-step procedure reducing the chromosome number by half. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct.
Meiosis results variations and helps the sexual mode of reproduction. The reason for these differences lies in the difference in the class of cells that each process creates. Although mitosis and meiosis have very different results the processes are similar with just a few changes within the stages of each.
Meiosis on the other hand is the division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes or sex cells each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
Mitosis results in diploid cells and meiosis results on haploid cells. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. Daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid while those resulting from meiosis are haploid. However meiosis includes two nuclear divisions.
