** __Mitosis__ Mitosis, a type of asexual reproduction occurs everywhere in all organisms; all organisms must carry out mitosis to grow and specifically in multi-cellular organism to also replace dying cells. In single-celled organisms however, mitosis is carried out for reproduction. Mitosis generally occurs almost everywhere in the single-celled and multi-cellular organisms. To be more specific, mitosis occurs in almost all somatic cells (body cells). ** __Meiosis__ Meiosis is a type of reproduction occurring in eukaryotic organisms that reproduce sexually. Unlike mitosis, meiosis only happens in the reproductive organs of an organism (in humans testes for male and ovary for female). The purpose of meiosis is neither growth nor replacement of dying cells, but production of cells that will through complex, additional process of gametogenesis become sperms in males, and eggs in females (humans).
