Now, know that cell division and DNA replication are different things. Replication of DNA occurs only once for both, but how many divisions there are celluar for each mitosis and meiosis? Thank you!

Mitosis involves one cell division and ends up with two daughter cells.
Meiosis involves two cell divisions and ends up with four daughter cells.
The reason that meiosis produces 4 is that it is used in the process of producing gametes. This way, gametes have half the number of chromosomes so that when they fertilize together, they will have the same amount.
