Learn about the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis. Difference # Mitosis: 1. The cell divides only once. 2. Mitosis takes place in the somatic cells. 3. Mitosis occurs both in sexually as well as asexually reproducing organisms. 4. The DNA replicates once for one cell division. Prophase: 5. The duration of prophase is shorter. 6. Mitosis is comparatively simple and [...]
The following points highlight the four important phases of mitosis. The phases are: 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase. Mitosis: Phase # 1. Prophase: During prophase, the individual chromosome appears in double threaded structure composed of two chromatids from the beginning. During this phase, the volume of the chromosomes too increases considerably and there is initiation of coiling [...]
