Meiosis v's' Mitosis

Meiosis v.s. Mitosis
2
Mitosis

• Interphase period of rest. Chromosomes create
  copies of themselves.
• Prophase - Chromosomes condense (orient singly),
  nuclear envelope disappears. Spindle forms,
  spindle fibers attach to chromosomes.
• Metaphase - Chromosomes move to center of cell.
• Anaphase - Chromatids separate.
• Telophase - Chromosomes gather at poles, nuclear
  envelope forms. division of cytoplasm, cell plate
  formed in plants.

Meiosis

• Interphase DNA replicates, Chromosomes
  duplicate
• Prophase Chromosomes condense (orient paired
  and cross over), Spindle and spindle fibers form
  and attach to chromosomes.
• Metaphase Chromosomes move to center of cell.
• Anaphase Chromosomes segregate (paired).
• Telophase Cell splits into two separate cells.
• Metaphase II Chromosomes move to center of cell
  and spindle fibers attach.
• Anaphase II Chromosomes separate singly.
• Telophase II Cells separate and form 4 new
  cells.

Difference Between Meiosis and Mitosis

• Meiosis is only performed in sex cells. (Sperm
  and Egg).
• Meiosis makes 4 new cells with ¼ the amount of
  chromosomes as the parent cell.
