What is the difference between Metaphase 1 and Metaphase 2? In Metaphase I, the 'pairs of chromosomes' are arranged on the Metaphase plate while, in the Metaphase II, the 'chromosomes' are arranged on the metaphase plate. In Metaphase I, the spindle fibers get attached to two centromeres of each homologous chromosome.

The main difference between meiosis II and mitosis is that the meiosis II essentially occurs in haploid cells that have gone through meiosis I whereas the mitosis mainly occurs in diploid cells. Moreover, meiosis II occurs in the production of gametes in sexual reproduction while mitosis occurs in asexual reproduction.

In anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are separated. In prometaphase II, microtubules attach to the kinetochores of sister chromatids, and the sister chromatids are arranged at the midpoint of the cells in metaphase II. In anaphase II, the sister chromatids are separated.

The difference is that in Metaphase-1 of meiosis the chromosome arrange in two pair wise (synapsis) and therfore cross over takes place while in mitosis the chromosome arrange in single pair and no cross over takes place.

Definition. The first metaphase of meisosis I encompasses the alignment of paired chromosomes along the center (metaphase plate) of a cell, ensuring that two complete copies of chromosomes are present in the resulting two daughter cells of meiosis I. Metaphase I follows prophase I and precedes anaphase I.

The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase (Figure 6.3). During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.

Ploidy level changes from diploid to haploid in meiosis I, and remains haploid in meiosis II. During anaphase of both meiosis I and meiosis II, the DNA content (number of copies of chromosomes) in a cell is halved. However, the ploidy level changes only when the number of unique chromosome sets in the cell changes.

Looking at the diagram, you might notice there are a lot of differences between meiosis I and meiosis II, including: In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate. Meiosis II produces 4 haploid daughter cells, whereas meiosis I produces 2 diploid daughter cells.

7. What is the key difference between anaphase I in meiosis and anaphase in mitosis? Answer: A key difference between mitosis and meiosis is that sister chromatids remain joined during anaphase I in meiosis, whereas in anaphase of mitosis they separate.

Recall that there are two divisions during meiosis: meiosis I and meiosis II. The genetic material of the cell is duplicated during S phase of interphase just as it was with mitosis resulting in 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids during Prophase I and Metaphase I.

1 Answer. Mandira P. Prophase I of meiosis is a very elaborate phase subdivided in leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis. Prophase II is less eventful, similar to mitotic prophase.

The S phase (synthesis phase) is period during which a cell replicates its DNA. Figure 3.23. Cell Cycle The two major phases of the cell cycle include mitosis (cell division), and interphase, when the cell grows and performs all of its normal functions. Interphase is further subdivided into G1, S, and G2 phases.

First thing to remember is that interphase is a stage associated with replication of DNA, and growth. Once meiosis starts, the purpose is to produce a haploid gamete. So there is no further need of replication or growth. Hence between meiosis I and meiosis II , there is no interphase.

Image of the cell cycle. Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Therefore, meiosis includes the stages of meiosis I (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I) and meiosis II (prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II).

Both Meiosis I and II have the same number and arrangement of phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Both produce two daughter cells from each parent cell. However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell.
