- Interphase is the resting phase of mitosis.
- DNA replication occurs in prophase during the process of cell division.
- The chromosome number is doubled in the prophase of mitosis and halved in the anaphase of mitosis.
- Chromosomes and chromatids are essentially the same thing.
- The chromosome number remains the same during meiosis-I and is halved during meiosis-II.
- In mitosis, homologous chromosomes separate in the anaphase.
- Diploid (2n) cells are formed as a result of meiosis.
- A chromosome has always two chromatids during cell division.
- Sister chromatids do not separate in mitosis.
- Homologous chromosomes are separated at the anaphase-II of meiosis.
- At a cell whose number of diploid chromosomes is 4, there are two chromosomes—each comprises of two chromatids.
- Sister chromatids are separated from each other at the anaphase-I of the meiosis.
- Sister chromatids only separate with meiosis.
- Centrioles are found in the nucleus of a cell.
- DNA replication occurs between meiosis-I and meiosis-II.
- Spindle fibers are formed by centromere.
- DNA replication occurs between prophase and metaphase during the process of cell division.
- The number of chromosomes is halved after mitosis.
- The meiosis of a cell with 2n = 4 chromosomes produces cells with a single chromosome.
- Crossing over occurs at the metaphase-I of the meiosis.
- The number of chromosomes remains the same after meiosis.
- The number of chromosomes is doubled after mitosis.
- DNA replication occurs between anaphase and telophase during the process of cell division.
- DNA replication occurs in cytokinesis during the process of cell division.
- The organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, dissolve and vanish during cell division and then are reformed.
- Centrioles are found in the nucleus of a cell.
- DNA replication occurs in the prophase during the process of cell division.
- DNA replication occurs between prophase and metaphase during cell division.
- Interphase is the resting phase of mitosis.
- DNA replication takes place only in the meiosis process.
- Chromosomes are formed as a result of shrinkage and thickening of spindle fibers.
- In mitosis, homologous chromosomes separate in the anaphase.
- The chromosome number is doubled in the prophase of mitosis and halved in the anaphase of mitosis.
- Meiosis occurs in the reproductive (sperm or egg) cells.
- A chromosome has always two chromatids during cell division.
- Centrioles are replicated during the prophase stage.
- Diploid (2n) cells are formed as a result of meiosis.
- During cell division, each centriole of the centrosome is separated and moves towards the opposite poles.
- Spindle fibers are formed from centromers.
- The centrosome and centrioles are essentially the same thing. The sister chromatids are homologous chromosomes
