The correct response is:
They are both forms of cell division.
Mitosis and meiosis are indeed both processes that involve the division of a cell to form new cells. However, they differ in their purposes, outcomes, and mechanics. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied gametes with half the number of chromosomes.
