What are the observable differences between mitosis and meiosis when viewed under a microscope?

In mitosis, cells divide to create two identical daughter cells, while in meiOSis, cells divide to create four genetically diverse daughter cells. Under a microscope, mitosis shows one round of cell division, resulting in two cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. MeiOSis, on the other hand, involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in four cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Additionally, meiOSis involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, leading to genetic diversity.
