Metaphase in Mitosis: C Chromosome Arrangement: During metaphase in mitosis, individual chromosomes align at the metaphase plate. OC Crossing Over: In mitosis, crossing over does not occur. The nature of chromosomes remains unchanged. OC Resulting Cells: Mitosis involves one cell division, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells. OC Chromosome Pairing: Homologous chromosomes do not pair with each other. CO Chromosome Configuration: Single chromosomes with two chromatids each line up on the metaphase plate. CO Chromosome Number: Results in diploid daughter cells (chromosome number remains the same as theparent cell). 2. Metaphase in Meiosis: OC Process: Metaphase occurs during meiosis, which involves two successive divisions, ultimately producing four daughter cells. OC Chromosome Arrangement: In metaphase-1 of meiosis, homologous pairs (tetrads) align at the metaphase plate. Each tetrad consists of two homologous chromosomes. ©) Random Assortment random alignment along the metaphase plate © Resulting Cells: Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells. CO Chromosome Pairing: Homologous chromosomes form tetrads and undergo crossing over. C Chromosome Configuration: Chromosomes are totally condensedand referred to as bivalents. © Chromosome Number: Results in haploid daughter cells (half the chromosome number of the parent cell). In summary, metaphase in mitosis involves individual chromosomes aligning, while metaphase-1 in meiosis features homologous chromosome pairs (tetrads) aligning on the metaphase plate. The key differences lie in chromosome pairing, crossing over, centromere division, and the resulting cell types 1294.
