One cell division<br />
Two successive cell divisions<br />
Produces two (2) cells Produces four (4) cells<br />
Produces diploid cells Produces haploid gametes<br />
Daughter cells are genetically<br />
identical to mother cell<br />
No crossing over<br />
Functions: Growth,<br />
cell replacement, <strong>and</strong><br />
asexual reproduction<br />
<strong>Cell</strong>s are genetically different from<br />
