|
The chromosomes align themselves at opposite ends of the cells

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: The DNA replication occurs only once in both meiosis and mitosis although the number of cell divisions is two in meiosis and one in mitosis which results in the production of different numbers of haploid cells in both the process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis involves one cell division, whereas meiosis involves two cell divisions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is characterized by one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division, resulting in haploid germ cells. Crossing-over of DNA results in genetic exchange of genes between maternal and paternal DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.
