In anaphase for both types of cell division, the centromeres of each chromosome separates and the spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromosomes. In mitosis, this is the shortest phase of cell division.

However, the differences between mitosis and meiosis are different. Because meiosis is when chromosomes are "mixed and matched" in order to make new different combinations, the strands are only mixed up so when they split, they have new genes at their ends. Because mitosis is when chromosomes are duplicated, or cloned, and are copies of each other, when they split, the new cell is the exact same copy as the original.

Is anaphaselor1 or anaphase 2 in meiosis more analogous to anaphase in mitosis?

Anaphase I of meiosis is more analogous to anaphase in mitosis than anaphase II. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite poles, similar to how sister chromatids are separated during mitotic anaphase. In contrast, anaphase II involves the separation of sister chromatids, which is akin to what occurs in mitosis but happens after a reductional division in meiosis. Thus, the mechanisms and outcomes of anaphase I align more closely with those of mitosis.


What cell is not in a phase of mitosis?

The phases of Mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (IPMAT). Cytokiensis is a separate thing altogether from Mitosis. So anything other than IPMAT is "not a phase in mitosis".


During which phase of meiosis do spindle fibers move the sister chromitatdes to the center of cells?

That would be anaphase I of meiosis. We know the question is concerning meiosis and not mitosis because it involves homologous chromosomes. Anaphase I begins when the kinetochore fibers stemming from the centrioles "grab" the centromeres of homologous chromosomes and "pull" them towards opposite ends of the cell.The mechanisms are a little more complicated than "grabbing" and "pulling," but for this question the mechanisms are of little importance.


What are the stages to meiosis?

There is meiosis I and meiosis II. The stages for meiosis I are prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, and cytokinesis. For meiosis II, the stages are the same, only those are II instead of I.


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.


The chromosomes move to opposite poles during?

The chromosomes move to opposite poles during anaphase of mitosis or meiosis. This movement is facilitated by microtubules that attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes and pull them apart towards the opposite ends of the cell.


Which has two divisios meiosis or mitosis?

Meiosis has two divisions, called meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I involves separating homologous chromosomes, while meiosis II involves separating sister chromatids. Mitosis, on the other hand, only has one division where the goal is to produce two daughter cells with identical genetic information to the parent cell.


Is meiosis more complex than mitosis?

Yes, meiosis is more complex than mitosis because it involves two rounds of cell division and results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes.


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)


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.
