Question:
Differentiate between the events of mitosis and meiosis.
Solution:
MITOSIS
1. Prophase will be short duration
2. Only a single metaphasis plate is formed during metaphase.
3. Sister chromatids tend to move opposite pole during anaphase
4. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis
MEIOSIS
1. Prophase I is a long duration and prophase II is a short duration
2. MetaphaseI- two metaphasic plates and Metaphase II is a single metaphasic.
3. Two homologous chromatids separate during anaphase I.
4. It doesn’t occur after meiosis I, occurs after meiosis II
