After mitosis, the daughter cell has 20 chromosomes and after meiosis, the daughter cell has 10 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Mitosis is part of cell replication. The cells formed during mitosis are called diploid, because they have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which produces gametes. These gametes are haploid cells because they have half of the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
