In mitosis, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while in meiosis, the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent.
How the daughter cells compare to the parent cell:
Daughter cells have roughly the same number of chromosomes as parent cells. They can be produced through either the process of mitosis or meiosis. ... Cell division is the process that creates daughter cells. It influences how cells replicate and reproduce themselves, along with the manner in which they generate offspring.
