whats the diff between meiosis and mitosis?

Well, this is how I remembered it. Mitosis refers to the division of cells , so it goes from haploid to diploid (increases). Meiosis on the other hand refers to the division of gametes (sexual reproductive cell such as an egg or sperm), so it goes from diploid to haploid (decreases). Since meiosis, has an e just remember this one refers to the sexual reproduction of cells. Hope that helps!!!
