Mitosis

Meiosis

Interphase

Each chromosome replicates. The result is two genetically identical sister chromatids Chromosomes not yet visible but DNA has been duplicated or replicated

Prophase

Prophase –Each of the duplicated chromosomes appears as two identical or equal sister chromatids, The mitotic spindle begins to form. Chromosomes condense and thicken 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)

Metaphase

Metaphase -The chromosomes assemble at the equator at the metaphase plate Metaphase I Chromosomes adjust on the metaphase plate. Chromosomes are still intact and arranged as pairs of homologues

Anaphase

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 Anaphase I Sister chromatids stay intact. However, homologous chromosomes drift to the opposite or reverse poles
