Mitosis produces <u>2 identical daughter cells with an equal number of chromosomes and types of chromosomes as the parent cell</u> whereas meiosis cell division produces <u>4 genetically different daughter cells</u>.
Explanation:
Mitosis occurs in all organisms and cells except sex cells. It is the process of producing two replicas of a parent cell. The main purpose of the cell is to repair or growth of an organism. It produces two diploid cells with one division.
Meiosis takes place in sex cells in sexual reproduction. It is the process where four gametes produce from a parent cell. The major purpose of this process is to produce genetically different cells or organisms. It produces four haploid cells.
The model of the atom which was supported by the gold foil experiment was nuclear model. Scientists wanted to prove plum pudding model, however, their experiments led to interesting results which made them hypothesize the nuclear model of the atom instead.
