Mitosis is the process by which new cells are formed whilst apoptosis is the process by which cells die

Mitosis is a type of cell division which produces identical cells. Meanwhile, apoptosis is programmed cell death as part of the natural growth. An example of apoptosis is the differentiation of fingers and toes. These are a result of apoptosis of the cells between the fingers and toes.
