1.) Haploid gametes are formed through meiosis.
2.) Meiosis creates genetic variation through crossing over.
3.) Mitosis and meiosis differ in the facts that mitosis creates exact matches and meiosis creates new unique genes, meiosis ends with half the chromosomes the original cell had and mitosis has the exact same number of cells, and meiosis creates 4 new cells where mitosis creates 2 new cells.
