Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Does mitosis create somatic?

Mitosis is responsible for reproducing somatic cells and meiosis is responsible for reproducing germ cells.

What creates somatic cells?

Somatic cells are produced through the cell division process of mitosis. They contain two copies of each chromosome, one from an organism's mother and one from their father. Cells with two copies of each chromosome are called diploid.
