What is the difference between prophase, metaphase and anaphase of mitosis and meiosis I and II?
Meiosis I | Mitosis | |
Prophase | Large phase and consists of 5 sub-phases, leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene & diakinesis. Crossing over takes place | Small phase and no subphases. Crossing over doesn't happen |
Metaphase | Homologous chromosomes pair up at the middle of the cell | Individual chromosomes (all) chromosomes are arranged at equal plane of the cell (no pairing of homologous chromosomes) |
Anaphase | Homologous chromsomes are separated and move to opposite poles | Sister chromatids are separated and move to opposite poles |
