Meiosis vs. Mitosis Meiosis vs. Mitosis Meiosis is a form of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes. It forms daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, and they contain half the number of chromosomes. This division produces gametes, sperm and egg cells, in sexually reproducing organisms. It requires two divisions. Meiosis is a form of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes. It forms daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, and they contain half the number of chromosomes. This division produces gametes, sperm and egg cells, in sexually reproducing organisms. It requires two divisions. Mitosis is a form of nuclear division whereby a parent cell divides its replicated DNA and forms identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This division allows organisms to grow and replace damaged cells.
