First, mitosis and meiosis are all forms of cell division. They both occur preceded by one round DNA replication. On the other hand, meiosis only exhibits two nuclear divisions which beget four daughter cells which are genetically distinct. Mitosis division however is diploid and identical to the mother cell. Another difference is where the pairing of homologs occurs in meiosis but is absent in mitosis. Meiosis exhibits genetic diversity through sexual reproduction where the other does cellular reproduction.
Meiosis genetic variations come with various advantages. First there is the aspect of adaptation brought about by changing environment. Inheritance is important, and it is an aspect brought about by meiosis division. Final, there is diversity in genes, this enables unique genome to be identified and used in special cases such as breeding. Among the three, the concept of inheritance proves to be the most important, as it is vital to survival. (Maton, 1997).
