a)
Mitosis Meiosis
Cell division happens once Cell division happens twice
Crossing over does not occur Crossing over occur
Two new cells are produced Four new cells are produced
The number of chromosomes in progeny is The number of chromosomes in progeny is half
similar to parent cell of the parent cell

b)

Two common characteristics

cell division occurs in somatic cell

cell division produces two daughter cells

cell division for growth

Initial concept

Cell division which occurs in somatic cells and produces two daughter cells is
mitosis

Other example

Heart because it is a somatic cell

Non-example

Testis / Ovary because it is a reproductive cell

Actual concept

Mitosis is cell division which occurs in somatic cells and produces two daughter
cells
