Mitosis Meiosis
Mitosis is the M-phase of the cell cycle. Mitosis results in the formation of two daughter cells identical to each other and also to the parent cell. Mitosis is also called as equational division as both the parent and the daughter cells have equal number of chromosomes. Mitosis involves four nuclear divisions namely, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Meiosis is reductional phase of cell division. It involves the division of a diploid parent cell to give rise to haploid cells with single set of chromosomes. During fertilization, haploid cells fuse to restore the chromosome number in the offspring. Hence, meiosis maintains constant number of chromosomes of particular species.
Mitosis helps in cellular reproduction. Meiosis helps in sexual reproduction.
No crossing over occurs. Crossing over, genetic recombination are general phenomena. 
Single division gives rise to 2 cells. Meiosis involves 2 divisions resulting in 4 cells.
Cells formed are diploid cells. Cells formed are haploid cells.
Chromosome number is maintained constant. Chromosome number is halved.
Mitosis occurs only in vegetative cells. Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells.
