Features

 

 

Mitosis

 

 

Meiosis I

 

 

Meiosis II

 

Preceded by replication of DNA.      
Involves a reduction division.      

Involves synapsis

(pairing of homologous chromosomes).

     

Chiasmata formed

(crossing over).

     
At metaphase the centromeres lie on the equatorial plane.      

At metaphase the centromeres of homologous chromosomes lie on either side of the equatorial plane.

     
At anaphase chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.      

At anaphase homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.

(provide the number)

     

Daughter nuclei have the same number (2n) of chromosomes as parent nucleus.

     

Daughter nuclei have 1/2 (n) the number of chromosomes.

     
Daughter nuclei have the same chromosome as the parent nuclei.      

Daughter nuclei have entirely new combinations of chromosomes.

     
For growth and development of somatic cells/vegetative cells.
