Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. The division of a cell occurs once in mitosis but twice in meiosis. Two daughter cells are produced after mitosis and cytoplasmic division, while four daughter cells are produced after meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis does PMAT twice! That means there is a prophase I and a prophase II. There is a metaphase I and a metaphase II.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A key difference, however, is that during meiosis, each of these phases occurs twice-once during the first round of division, called meiosis I, and again during the second round of division, called meiosis II.
Detailed explanation-4: -During each meiotic cell division, the same processes of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (P.M.A.T.) occur, with some variation between them.
Detailed explanation-5: -That means there is a prophase I and a prophase 2.
