How do parent and daughter cells differ genetically in mitosis and meiosis?

please help, thanks!How do parent and daughter cells differ genetically in mitosis and meiosis?
In mitosis, daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cells.





In meiosis, daughter cells have half the amount of chromosomes than the parent cell. Daughter cells also have different genes from each other due to independent assortment and crossing over of chromosomes.
