Give diff. Between mitosis and meiosis

1.	Give diff. Between mitosis and meiosis
Answer» \tTypesMitosisMeiosisInterphaseInterphase – Chromosomes not yet visible but DNA has been duplicated or replicated.Each chromosome replicates. The result is two genetically identical sister chromatidsProphaseProphase –Each of the duplicated chromosomes appears as two identical or equal sister chromatids, The mitotic spindle begins to form. Chromosomes condense and thickenProphase 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)MetaphaseMetaphase -The chromosomes assemble at the equator at the metaphase plateMetaphase I Chromosomes adjust on the metaphase plate. Chromosomes are still intact and arranged as pairs of homologuesAnaphaseAnaphase – 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. But homologous chromosomes drift to opposite or reverse poles.Types of ReproductionSexualAsexualOccurs inHumans, animals, plants, fungi.All OrganismsFunctionGenetic diversity through sexual reproduction.General growth and cell reproduction, repair of the body.\t
