A DNA molecule consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted together to form a double helix. The sugar-phosphate backbone is found on the outside of this helix and the bases are found braching towards the middle. Hydrogen bonds join the thenitrogenous bases and hold the two strands together.
The main difference is that mitosis occurs in body cells and meiosis occurs in sex cells. Mitosis produces identical daughter cells and meiosis produces genetically different daughter cells.
