Compare and contrast what happens in mitosis and meiosis and discuss the importance of each process to a living organism.

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Mitosis has to do with the division of somatic or vegetative cells. Diploid parent cells divide to give rise to two diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. Mitotic process is important for for wound healing, growth and development of living organisms.

On the other hand, meiosis is concerned with the division of sex cells. Diploid parent cells divide t give rise to four haploid daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cells as a result of crossing over and recombination. Meiotic process is important in sexually reproducing organisms. It ensures that the ploidy level of organisms are kept constant from one generation to the other.
