During mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase so that when the cell divides the daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell had.
DNA replication also occurs during meiosis, but the cell divides twice, so the daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had. This is because the daughter cells are sex cells, which combine with another sex cell (either an egg or a sperm) to form one cell with a combined chromosome number.
