In both mitosis and meiosis, metaphase is the stage where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. However, in mitosis, the chromosomes line up in a single row, while in meiosis, they line up in pairs. This is because meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in the separation of homologous chromosomes.
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
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.
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.
In metaphase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs at the center of the cell, while in mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.

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.
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
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 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.
In metaphase of mitosis, the number of chromosomes is equal to the number of duplicated chromosomes. However, in metaphase 2 of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is half that of the duplicated chromosomes, since meiosis involves two rounds of cell division to produce haploid cells.
In metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in a single row at the center of the cell, while in metaphase of meiosis, chromosomes line up in pairs at the center of the cell. Additionally, in mitosis, each chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, while in meiosis, each chromosome is made up of two homologous chromosomes.
In mitosis, the phases are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, the phases are similar but with two rounds of division: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, followed by prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
