For mitosis:

a) Type of cell produced by division of each cell - Haploid (genetically distinct)

b). Cells before each type of division of cells - Diploid (genetically same or identical).

c). Cells after each type of division of cells - Haploid (genetically distinct)

d). When each division type malfunctions - failed homologous chromosome seperation.

For Meiosis:

a) Type of cell produced by division of each cell - Diploid (genetically same or identical).

b). Cells before each type of division of cells - Diploid (genetically same or identical).

c). Cells after each type of division of cells - Diploid (genetically same or identical).

d). When each division type malfunctions - Non disjunction

failed sister chromatids seperation.
