In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.
What else can I help you with?
Is prometaphase in meiosis?
No, prometaphase is a stage in mitosis, not meiosis. In meiosis, there is a prophase I stage that is similar to prometaphase in mitosis.
What distinguishes prophase 1 of meiosis from prophase of mitosis?
In Prophase I of meiosis, a tetrad is formed between 2 homologous chromosomes and their replicates. Small pieces are exchanged between the chromosomes and the tetrad breaks up. Then things happen as usual. So really the only difference is that there's genetic recombination.
How are meiosis and mitosis similar?
they both have a prophase and an anaphase.
What is one difference between mitosis and meiosis?
One key difference between mitosis and meiosis is that mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically unique daughter cells.
When does crossing over happen in mitosis 1?
Mitosis does its crossing over in prophase
What is the main difference between meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis involves 1 division while meiosis involves 2
The most important occurrence during prophase one of meiosis which doesnt occur in prophase of mitosis is?
Crossing over, also known as genetic recombination, is a unique event that occurs during prophase I of meiosis but not during prophase of mitosis. It involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, resulting in genetic diversity among offspring.
Which of the following occurs in meiosis but not mitosis?
Meiosis is the division of the gametes(sex cells), haploid (n) Mitosis is cell division, diploid (2n) In meiosis, there are the similar cycles (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase), but there are two cycles of each (ex: prophase 1, prophase 2 ETC).
What is the difference between mitosis and meioisis?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
What is the difference between mitosis 2 and meiosis?
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
What stage does chromatin condense to chromosomes?
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
What are the similar basic steps between mitosis and meiosis?
The similar basic steps between mitosis and meiosis include the stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Both processes involve the division of genetic material and the formation of new cells. However, meiosis includes an additional step called crossing over during prophase I, which results in genetic variation.
