gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells where two daughter cells are formed with the same number of chromosomes as the parent (diploid 2n). Meiosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the sex cells where four daughter cells are formed with half the number of chromosomes as the parent (haploid, n). In this case, if the gametes were formed by mitosis then it means they would have a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes.
