Mitosis and meiosis are similar at the level of writing, and possess a very close mechanism; however, they do not achieve the same result!

Mitosis corresponds to a single "asexual" cell division of somatic cells (almost all cells in the body), and clones two daughter cells from a mother cell, which will be identical, and inherit exactly the same heritage genetic, indeed these two daughter cells will each have an identical karyotype (same chromosomes) and an identical genotype (same alleles) to that of the mother cell.

Meiosis corresponds to two successive "sexual" cell divisions affecting only germ cells; starting from a diploid cell (chromosomes present in pairs), meiosis leads to the formation of four gametes (haploid sexual cells, spermatozoa or oocytes) (a single copy of the chromosomes). Then, during fertilization, two gametes (each from meiosis, in the male and female) come together to form a zygote, in which diploidy will be restored.

The right answers are:

create two identical cells ==> mitosis

create four non-identical cells ==> meiosis

create haploid cells ==> meiosis

creates diploid cells ==> mitosis

occurs in all cels other tha gametes ==> mitosis

occurs in all cells related to sexual reproduction ==> meiosis

Explanation:

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
