(4) Produces 4 haploid gametes,Meiosis
(5) Involves crossover,Meiosis
(6) Results in genetic variation,Meiosis

Explanation

The clearest distinctions between mitosis and meiosis:

  • Mitosis: 1 division → 2 diploid identical cells → growth and repair
  • Meiosis: 2 divisions → 4 haploid unique cells → sexual reproduction and variation
