Mitosis refers to the division of cells , so it goes from haploid to diploid (increases). Meiosis on the other hand refers to the division of gametes (sexual reproductive cell such as an egg or sperm), so it goes from diploid to haploid (decreases). Since meiosis, has an e just remember this one refers to the sexual reproduction of cells.
Mitosis creates 2 identical cells and meiosis creates 4 different cells (each one contain half of the original content). Meiosis involves in sexual reproduction whereas mitosis involves in asexual reproduction.

∙ 9y agoSimilarity:-
The chromosomes are arranged at the equatorial plate by spindle fibres attached to the cenromere of the chromosomes.
Difference:-
The number of chromosomes in mitosis metaphase is 2n whereas in meiosis metaphase is n

How does the number of chromosomes in metaphase of mitosis compare to the number of duplicated chromosomes in metaphase 2 of meiosis?
because in metaphase 2 of meiosis there are 2 different cells, which means the chromosomes duplicated
What is chromosomes line up in mitosis to known phase?
In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.
What is the stage of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell in the stage metaphase of mitosis and meiosis.
Which phase involves the chromosomes lining up along the equator of the cell?
Metaphase 1 is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes line up along the equator. Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, then spindle fibers attach onto the homologous chromosome.
Strictly speaking mitosis and meiosis are divisions of the?
Mitosis is division of a cell. Consists of the stages Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telaphase. Mitosis is part of the cell cycle. Meiosis is the division of a sex cell. Such as sperm or egg. Meiosis is unique because it goes through the stages twice. Prophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, and Metaphase II, etc.

What is the activity of chromosomes in metaphase 1 of meiosis?
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
What is chromosomes line up in mitosis to known phase?
In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.
Does metaphase of mitosis meiosis 1 or meiosis 2 have the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle?
meiosis 1
Does metaphase of mitosis meiosis 1or meiosis2 have the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle?
meiosis 1
What is the stage of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell in the stage metaphase of mitosis and meiosis.
Which phase involves the chromosomes lining up along the equator of the cell?
Metaphase 1 is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes line up along the equator. Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, then spindle fibers attach onto the homologous chromosome.
Do the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
They line up during metaphase of mitosis and meiosis

How does the alignment of chromosomes differ at the equator between metaphase of mitosis and metaphase of meiosis 1?
In prophase the membrane of nucleus disappears, then the nucleus too, chromosomes unwrap, collocation of spindle apparatus is completed. In metaphase: chromosomes line up on equatorial cell-plate. there is very little difference
If a cell has 40 chromosomes how many centromeres would it have when it is in metaphase?
=after any cell does mitosis it's 2 daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell meiosis is different then mitosis=
How does metaphase 1 differ from metaphase in mitosis?
In mitosis metaphase the mitotic spindel attaches to one side of a pair of chromosomes and seperates them so that one chromosome ends up on each side. In metaphase 1 of meiosis, the mitotic spindel only attaches to one pair of chromosomes from one side, so that when anaphase occures that pair of chromosomes will end up on one side. overall - mitosis metaphase- chromosomes split - meiosis metaphase 1- chromosome pair stay together and end up one side of the cell.
