Did you know that Mitosis and Meiosis could be compared to each other? They almost have the same process, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. But there are differences between them.
Mitosis is the replication of chromosomes and their equal distribution to two nuclei. Meiosis is the process in which the nucleus of a cell completes two successive divisions that produce four nuclei, each with a chromosome number of that has been reduced by half. The two successive nuclear divisions are Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Mitosis occurs in any cell in the human body, but not the male and female sex cells. But however Meiosis occurs only in the male and female sex cells. In Meiosis the outcome of different haploid cells is four and the result of Mitosis is two diploid cells. Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells. Where as Meiosis produces four genetically different cells.
Mitosis and Meiosis are almost the same but there are some differences. The two processes will always happen in our human body.
