In single-cell organisms, mitosis is the only form of cellular reproduction. One round of mitosis yields two genetically identical cells. In bacteria, this process results in an entirely new, independent organism. This is classified as asexual reproduction because it does not require sex for the creation of new organisms. In multi-cellular organisms, like ourselves, mitosis only occurs in somatic cells, which comprise all cells in an organism excluding germ cells.
Best Answer: Mitosis produces two cells identical to the parent cell. Meiosis produces four cells that are usually haploid from diploid parent cells. Mitosis is involved with asexual reproduction. Meiosis is always associated with sexual reproduction either before or after sex cell fusion. Both have chromosome replication before the processes begins.
