The difference between mitosis and meiosis is how much DNA the resulting cells have.

mi**T**osis (mi-TWO-sis) creates daughter cells that have **two** versions of each chromosome (the normal amount). Two daughter cells are made, each identical to the original.

mei**O**sis (mei-ONE-sis) creates daughter cells that have **one** version of each chromosome (this is specifically for making sex cells like sperm and eggs). Four daughter cells are made, each with half the DNA of the original.
