Mitosis is similar to Meiosis II is that end result is the amount of DNA is reduced to half when the cell splits or undergoes cytokinesis. A cell that undergoes Mitosis will end up with 2n (twice the number of chromosomes), but a cell that undergoes Meiosis II will end up with n (only one copy of chromosomes). Cells that normally undergo Meiosis II are cells, so when fertilization occurs the zygote will have 2n the number of chromosomes.
