it is the 2nd phase
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
In metaphase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.
In metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, while in metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs.
Metaphase of meiosis 2 has the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle. In meiosis 1, during metaphase, there are still pairs of homologous chromosomes lined up at the equator.
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during meiosis.
Yes, alignment of tetrads at the metaphase plate occurs in meiosis, specifically during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes pair up as tetrads. In mitosis, individual chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
In Mitosis during Metaphase, the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, but without their homologues. In Meiosis during Metaphase I, the tetrads line up on the metaphase plate. Then it's back to double-stranded chromosomes lining up in Metaphase II. I
In meiosis, metaphase occurs twice (metaphase I and metaphase II) while in mitosis, it occurs only once. The significance of metaphase in meiosis is to ensure proper separation of homologous chromosomes in metaphase I and sister chromatids in metaphase II, leading to genetic diversity. In mitosis, metaphase ensures accurate alignment of chromosomes for equal distribution to daughter cells, maintaining genetic stability.
It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.
During the metaphase I meiosis are the bivalents are arranged along the equator. During the prophase I of meiosis I the crossing over occurs.
In metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align in pairs at the cell's equator, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes align singly. Additionally, in metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles, whereas in mitosis, chromosomes segregate randomly to the daughter cells.
Mitosis for sure has metaphase. Scientists are guessing that meiosis has it too, but they combine it and make it "prometaphase," because prophase and metaphase happens so fast in meiosis.
