There are two ways cell division can happen in human and most other animal called mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division). During mitosis one cell divides once to form two identical cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.

When a cell divides by way of\xa0mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes. When a cell divides by way of\xa0meiosis, it produces four cells, called gametes.Meiosis\xa0has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while\xa0mitosisonly has one of each. In\xa0meiosis\xa0homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In\xa0mitosis\xa0the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

Mitosis: The process cells use to make exact replicas of themselves. Mitosis is observed in almost all the body’s cells, including eyes, skin, hair, and muscle cells.Meiosis: In this type of cell division, sperm or egg cells are produced instead of identical daughter cells as in mitosis.
