The answer is "both of these."
Mitosis is a process where a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. Because the daughter cells contain twice the genetic material of the parent cell, they are referred to as “diploid.”
Some key differences between meiosis and mitosis are: Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. Two daughter cells are produced in mitosis, while four are produced in meiosis. Mitosis daughter cells are diploid, but meiosis daughter cells are haploid. Meiosis creates more genetic variation than mitosis.
