Q

what happens in meiosis

A

Meiosis there is one chromosome
duplication followed by two cellular
divisions (into four cells) so Meiosis is
broken down into Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Q

Compare Meiosis 1 and Mitosis

A

Meiosis I:
โ–  Prophase I - pairing of
homologous
chromosomes
โ–  Metaphase I โ€“
homologous pairs line up
at metaphase plate
โ–  Anaphase I โ€“ homologous
chromosomes separate
โ–  Telophase I โ€“ daughter
cells are haploid

โ–  Mitosis:
โ–  Prophase has no such
pairing

โ–  Metaphase โ€“
chromosomes align at
metaphase plate
โ–  Anaphase โ€“ sister
chromatids separate

โ–  Telophase โ€“ diploid cells
