Both Meiosis I and Mitosis involve the division of a parent cell into two daughter cells. Each process includes similar stages like prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The chromosomes align and then separate pretty much the same in these stages.
They both create two cells from one, have similar phases, and manage chromosomes. It’s like they’re siblings in the cell division family!
In both processes, the chromosomes duplicate before dividing, which helps ensure that the daughter cells have the necessary genetic material.
Hot take: They're not that similar! Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes while mitosis separates sister chromatids – big difference!
