The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells.
Meiosis is needed for the division of reproductive cells because it is reductional division while mitosis is used for division of all other cells of body because it is equational division.
