on prophase of mitosis the cylindrical shaped structure(centrioles) starts to move going to the both opposites sides as they move the fiber make-up structure starts to form(spindle). The spindles is the one who controls the movement of the choromosomes while it is in the process. note the chromosomes starts to become shorten ad thick that's why they r very easy to see.

in prophase I of meiosis the choromoses condense and are seen to have splitinto two chromatids. One of its important features of the phrophase I of meiosis the paternal and maternal chromosomes come together in homologous pairs.,

well that's my answer i know its ryt...

hope that i have helped you.

The answer by joan simply states the processes that occur individually by mitosis and meiosis.

The question is to discuss the 'Difference' instead of state the events that occur.

In my understanding, prophase 1 of meiosis consists of 5 different stages - Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis. Now the question is which of these 5 stages differ from prophase of mitosis.

I found that stages Leptotene (condensation of DNA) and Diakinesis (nuclear envelop fragments) are similar to that in prophase of mitosis.

Thus, the difference has to lie in stages Zygotene (formation of bivalents and synaptonemal complex), Pachytene (crossing over at sites called chiasma) and

Diplotene (separation of synaptonemal complex).

Do improve on my answer.

In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over between homologous chromosomes occurs. Crossing over does not occur in mitosis.

Which has two divisios meiosis or mitosis?

MeiosisThey are meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. Produced nucleii are different than mother nucleus


Which one produces sex cells mitosis or meiosis?

mitosis, the cells split, it's more complicated than that though, check an article on cells


Are four haploid daughter cells quantitatively and qualitatively different from the mother cell during meiosis or mitosis?

Well mitosis is the splitting of somatic cells (body cells), and meiosis is the splitting of the sex cells, so if we are talking about the mother's cells splitting in preparation for fertilization, than it would be meiosis.


What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?

Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.


How is Mitosis different than people and animal cells?

mitosis is the process of a cell splitting. people don't split in half, we combine are DNA (i think this is called meiosis pronounced my-OH-sis)


Does mitosis occur at the same rate in all different parts of an organism?

It depends on the cell. The diploids will hump each other and suck it


Does mitosis or meiosis occur in all body tissue's?

Mitosis does not in fact occur in all of the tissues of the body. Mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body that are not sex tissues.


When does meiosis play a more significant role than mitosis?

Meiosis is the reproduction of the gametes or sex cells. So I'd go with meiosis.


What forms 2 cells mitosis or meiosis?

Haploid cells are formed in the process of meiosis. Haploid cells contain half of the amount of chromosomes than a somatic cell has.


Why must mitosis and meiosis different?

During Mitosis a cell splits into two identical new cells. The chromosomes copy themselves and then the cell divides in half. In Meiosis the diploid divides itself twice rather than once to create four haploid cells. This is the creation of sex cells.


Is a function of meiosis rather than a function of mitosis.?

The function of meiosis sexual reproduction and divides a ell into identical daughter cells. On the hand mitosis has a main function of multiplication, growth as well as repair of cells.
