State the differences between Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2.
Respuesta: MEIOSIS 1
1. Crossing over occurs in Prophase 1.
2. Whole chromosomes are arranged at the equator.
3. During Anaphase 1, whole chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles.
4. Chromosome number is halved.
5. Chromosomes are double-stranded in ALL phases.
6. Two new cells have half the chromosomes number as the original cell.
MEIOSIS 2
1. No crossing over in Prophase 1.
2. Single chromosomes are arranged at the equator.
3. During Anaphase 2, single chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles.
4. Chromosome number remains the same.
5. Chromosomes are single-stranded in ALL phases.
6. Two new cells formed have the same chromosomal number as the original cell in Prophase 2.
