What are the stages of meiosis and mitosis?
Solution
When a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this is called cell division. Normally, cell division is part of a wider cell cycle. Each cell splits into two daughter cells because each parent cell creates two daughter cells.
The first kind of cell division is vegetative division, in which each daughter cell repeats the parent cell. The second type of cell division is mitosis, in which each daughter cell duplicates the parent cell. Meiosis, which splits into four haploid daughter cells, is the second.
Complete answer:
MEIOSIS-
A single cell divides twice to produce four haploid daughter cells during meiosis. These cells contain the gametes, which are sperm in males and eggs in females. The meiosis process is separated into two parts. Each level is further broken into phases.
1. Meiosis I:
Prophase I
Metaphase I
Anaphase I
Telophase I
Cytokinesis I
2. Meiosis II:
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
Cytokinesis II
MITOSIS-
Cell division is the driving force of reproduction at the cellular level. Except for germ cells, which have half the number of chromosomes, most eukaryotic cells divide in a way that keeps the ploidy or number of chromosomes the same. The stages of mitosis comprise:
1. Prophase
2. Prometaphase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
Note:
Mitosis is a one-stage process, whereas meiosis is a two-stage process. Meiosis generates haploid cells, whereas mitosis produces diploid cells (46 chromosomes) (23 chromosomes). Meiosis creates four genetically distinct daughter cells, whereas mitosis produces two identical daughter cells.
