Types	Mitosis	Meiosis
Interphase	Each chromosome replicates. The result is two genetically identical sister chromatids.	Interphase – Chromosomes not yet visible but DNA has been duplicated or replicated.
Prophase	Prophase I – crossing-over recombination – Homologous chromosomes (each consists of two sister chromatids) appear together as pairs. Tetrad is the structure that is formed. Segments of chromosomes are exchanged between non-sister chromatids at crossover points known as chiasmata (= crossing-over).	Prophase –Each of the duplicated chromosomes appears as two identical or equal sister chromatids, The mitotic spindle begins to form. Chromosomes condense and thicken.
Metaphase	Metaphase I Chromosomes adjust on the metaphase plate. Chromosomes are still intact and arranged as pairs of homologues.	Metaphase -The chromosomes assemble at the equator at the metaphase plate.
Anaphase	Anaphase I Sister chromatids stay intact. But homologous chromosomes drift to the opposite or reverse poles.	Anaphase – The spindle fibres begin to contract. This starts to pull the sister chromatids apart. At the end of anaphase, a complete set of daughter chromosomes is found each pole.
