5.4 Mitosis Versus Meiosis
Table 5.3 Differences between Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis
Number of Divisions:
Meiosis
Chromosome # in daughter cells
Number of daughter cells
Table 5.4 Mitosis Compared to Meiosis I . Mitosis is done for you, do Meiosis.
Mitosis
Meiosis I
Prophase: no pairing of chromosomes
Prophase I:
Metaphase: chromosomes at plate
Metaphase I:
Anaphase: sister chromatids separate
Anaphase I:
Telophase: chromosomes have one chromatid
Telophase I:
