Both Meiosis and Mitosis are part of the cell division process. The centromeres splits in both mitosis and meiosis. Both process goes through some stages that are the same like prophase, metaphase and etc.
Differences
Meiosis ends with 4 daughter cells while mitosis only ends up with 2. Meiosis is found in sexual reproduction of organisms while Mitosis is a asexual reproduction process. Crossing over can occur in meiosis while mixing of chromosomes cant occur in mitosis. Meiosis creates sex cells only while meiosis creates everything exept sex cells. Meiosis occures in Humans, animals, plants,and fungi while mitosis occurs in every orgnism. The chromosomes numbers in Meiosis reduce by half while the ones in Mitosis stays the same
