This document summarizes the key stages of mitosis and meiosis. It describes that mitosis occurs in somatic cells and results in two identical daughter cells with the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis occurs in germ cells and results in four haploid daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid parent cell. The document outlines the main phases of the cell cycle, including interphase and the phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase). It also provides details about the key events and phases of meiosis I and meiosis II, including homologous chromosome pairing, crossing over, and the formation of haploid daughter cells.
