In step two of mitosis (also known as metaphase) the chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and in meiosis step two (also known as metaphase I) Tetrads line up on the equator of the cell.
Mitosis and Meiosis
Meiosis differs from mitosis in the following ways; meiosis produces four cells while mitosis two produces cells. Meiosis occurs in sex cells while mitosis occurs body cells.
No of chromosomes is maintained by meiosis and fertilization .
Meiosis results in a change in chromosome number indicated by division of cells into two identical cells. This is a process that is used for purposes of reproduction.
One is spelled "meiosis" while the other is spelled "mitosis". No differences otherwise.
chromatid
These changes usually occur in meiosis not mitosis. It causes a mixing of the alleles.
In Mitosis, the chromosome number remains the same. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved.
Chromatid
At the end of mitosis or meiosis, yes.
The cellular component that helps pull apart the chromosome in mitosis and meiosis are the spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are made of micro-tubules.
