\tMitosisMeiosisEach chromosome replicates. The result is two genetically identical sister chromatidsChromosomes not yet visible but DNA has been duplicated or replicatedProphase 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 thickenMetaphase I Chromosomes adjust on the metaphase plate. Chromosomes are still intact and arranged as pairs of homologuesMetaphase -The chromosomes assemble at the equator at the metaphase plateAnaphase I Sister chromatids stay intact. However, homologous chromosomes drift to the opposite or reverse polesAnaphase – 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 poleAsexual ReproductionSexual ReproductionEukaryotic cellsDiploid cellsGeneral growth and repair, Cell reproductionGenetic diversity through sexual reproduction\t
