Mitosis versus meiosis. Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
The only cell types which does not undergo mitosis (they undergo meiosis) is the germ cells (not the bacteria) or reproductive cells, which is found in the testis and ovary, which produces the sperm cells and egg cells. In plants, germ cells are found in the pollen grains and the egg cells in the ovary of the flower.
