what is the main difference between meiosis 1 and 2?
434905
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. Genetic recombination (crossing over) only occurs in meiosis I.

Meiosis. Meiosis is the process of cell division that is used to create gametes (sperm and egg cells). DNA replication occurs before the first of the two cell divisions that occur during meiosis. The first round of cell division in meiosis is called meiosis I, while the second round is called meiosis II.

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate resulting in a reduction of ploidy. Each daughter cell has only 1 set of chromosomes. Meiosis II, splits the sister chromatids apart. ... These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell - they are haploid.

The mechanics of meiosis II is similar to mitosis, except that each dividing cell has only one set of homologous chromosomes. Therefore, each cell has half the number of sister chromatids to separate out as a diploid cell undergoing mitosis.

The main difference between anaphase I and anaphase II is that anaphase I occurs in a diploid cell and anaphase II occurs in a haploid cell. ... In anaphase I, splitting of centromere do not occur whereas, in anaphase II, sister chromatids separate, splitting the centromere.

To accomplish this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis, involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division (Figure 1). Meiosis also differs from mitosis in that it involves a process known as recombination, during which chromosomes exchange segments with one another.

What are the principal differences between mitosis and meiosis? Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells, whereas meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.
1378311
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, making haploid cells with non-duplicated chromosomes. Prophase II: Starting cells are the haploid cells made in meiosis I. Chromosomes condense. ... Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell.

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.

The primary difference is that in meiosis II only one member of each homolog pair is present, whereas in mitosis both are. During anaphase II, the third step of meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move toward opposite poles.

*the beginning of meiosis : 46 chromosomes and each chromosome has one chromatid. *Prophase I : 46 Chrms, & each chromosome has 2 chromatid. *Prophase II: 23 Chrms, each one has 2 chromatids.

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.

Mitosis gives two nuclei, and hence two cells, while meiosis gives four. Mitosis gives identical cells to each other and to the mother cell, while meiosis leads to genetic variation due to crossing over and independent assortment. ... Mitosis includes one division , while meiosis includes two.

Describe 3 differences between mitosis and meiosis. ... Mitosis produces diploid cells (46 chromosomes) whereas meiosis produces haploid cells (23 chromosomes). Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells.

During meiosis 1, the parent cell with double the normal amount of chromosomes, splits into two diploid cells (have enough chromosomes to survive). During meiosis 2, the two diploid cells each split into two haploid cells (have half the amount of chromosomes to survive). Meiosis ends with four haploid cells.

Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.

No, because DNA is replicated in Interphase first and no interphase stage exists after after Meiosis 1. Describe the main difference between Metaphase 1 and Metaphase 2. In Metaphase 1, paired homologous chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.
