Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In mitosis, each replication cycle of DNA is followed by one cell division. The resulting daughter cells have a diploid number of chromosomes and the same amount of DNA as the parent cell. In meiosis, one replication cycle of DNA is followed by two divisions (meiosis-I and meiosis-II) and the four daughter cells are haploid and contain half the amount of DNA as each parent cell.
