1. They are different in that mitosis produces two cells identical to the original, while meiosis produces cells that only have half the chromosomes of the original.
2. Sexual reproduction is more efficient in its process of removing harmful mutations from the general population. Although there will be offspring who do not survive because of the birth defects they encounter, it is an advantage that protects the future of that species.
3.A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.
