Well it's where it happens and the kind of cell, meiosis happens in the ovaries and it produces four haploid gamete cells that are unique. And mitosis produces 2 diploid somatic cells that are identical
Mitosis provides two diploids (2n) somatic cells that are genetically indistinguishable from each other and the primary parent cell, whereas meiosis creates four haploids (n) gametes that are genetically individual from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
