Categorize the following into mitosis or meiosis

Produces cells with half of the genetic material in them
Has two rounds of cell division
Produces diploid cells
Makes sex cells/gametes
Produces cells that can be used in sexual reproduction
Produces haploid cells
Is intended to repair tissue or grow the organism
Produces two new cells
Produces identical cells (identical to each other and to the parent) as long as there are no mutations
In a human it only in the ovaries or testes
Produces 4 cells

DNA coils and chromosomes form (if the DNA uncoiled in the previous step)
The cell divides into 4 new haploid cells
4 new nuclei form
The DNA uncoils
Spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids
Spindle fibers stretch out the cell
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the midline of the cell (not in pairs)
The number of chromosomes doubles in the cell
Nuclear envelope breaks down (if two new nuclei were formed in the previous step)
Spindle fibers continue to be formed
Spindle fibers break down
