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.

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?

Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical


Which is more complicated mitosis or meiosis?

Meiosis is more complex than mitosis because it involves two rounds of cell division and crossing over of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Meiosis also results in the production of gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, leading to genetic diversity.
