Mitosis is the cell division of somatic (body) cells. It goes through PMAT once. It starts with one diploid cell and the end is two diploid cells. The outcome is always two identical copies of the cell. This is how we replace any cells that die. Meiosis is the division of gametes (germ/sex cells). This is how siblings look differently. It will do through PMAT twice. Starts off with one diploid cell then goes to two diploid but ends up with four haploid. There is a crossing over moment during Prophase I so that it can share genes (this is how you get a genetic variety for the offspring and how siblings have different features).
extent from side to side or distance sidewise from a given point or line, I got this from the internet so I don't know if it is correct sorry if it isn't
