One main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis is involved in growth, repair, and maintenance, whereas meiosis is specifically for the formation of gametes (sex cells) and introduces genetic diversity.
