Describe two events that are common to both mitosis and meiosis that ensure the resulting daughter cells inherit the appropriate number of chromosomes.

During Mitosis and Meiosis, the both cells undergo a DNA replication process which ensures that the cells produced will have the same characteristics as the parent cell. The chromosomes then gather on the center then this is where the two cells divulge. Meiosis produces four haploids and Mitosis produces two daughter cells.
