Explanation:

• First card: Mitosis makes somatic (body) cells, while meiosis makes gametes (egg and sperm cells). This is a key difference.
• Second card: Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells, and meiosis results in 4 daughter cells. This is a valid difference.
• Third card: Both mitosis and meiosis occur in the nucleus. So this is not a difference.
• Fourth card: Mitosis results in diploid (2n) daughter cells, and meiosis results in haploid (n) daughter cells. This is a valid difference.

Answer:

• Mitosis makes somatic (body) cells and Meiosis makes gametes (egg and sperm cells).
• Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells and Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells.
• Mitosis results in diploid (2n) daughter cells and Meiosis results in haploid (n) daughter cells.
