    DNA duplication occurs in both mitosis and meiosis. This duplication occurs during S-phase of mitosis as well as S-phase of
    meiosis I. The difference between mitosis and meiosis can only be understood if we have a brief idea of what these two
    cell division processes are:
    Mitosis: Mitosis is the cell division process in which a eukaryotic cell divides the chromosomes into two identical sets of
    two daughter nuclei in its cell nucleus. It is followed by cytokinesis, which equally divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles
    and cell membrane into two daughter cells. Mitosis and cytokinesis together form the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle.
    The sequence of events is divided into different stages named as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and
    telophase. Mitosis occurs in different ways in different species. For example, animals undergo an open mitosis process in
    which the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi and yeast undergo a closed
    mitosis in which the chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus.
    Meiosis:Meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is halved. Before it
    begins, the DNA in the original cell is duplicated during S-phase of the cell cycle. Meiosis separates the replicated
    chromosomes into four haploid gametes or spores. If it produces gametes, these cells should fuse during fertilization to
    create a new diploid cell or zygote. In plants, meiosis produces spores which results in the formation of haploid cells that
    can divide vegetatively without undergoing fertilization. The different stages involved in meiosis are meiosis I, prophase I,
    metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I and meiosis II. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all
    eukaryotes that reproduce sexually. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria as they reproduce asexually through
    binary fission process.
    The differences between mitosis and meiosis are as follows:
