Mitosis and meiosis are different types of cell division in eukaryotic cells and the major difference is the copy number of genetic information at the end of cell division. Mitosis starts with a diploid cell (i.e., a cell containing two copies of the same genetic information), and ends with two diploid cells. Cells that divide by mitosis are somatic cells, which are cells that make up your body. Meiosis starts with one diploid cell and ends with four haploid cells (i.e., cells containing just one copy of genetic information). Meiosis is reserved for reproductive cells, like sperm and eggs. The purpose of meiosis is to produce haploid egg and sperm cells, since one copy of an organism's generic information will come from the mother, and one copy with come from the father and the fusion of an egg and sperm cell will result in one diploid cell.
