Question

Answer 1

There are four more phases that occur during meiosis than mitosis. Meiosis and Mitosis undergo the same phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Answer 2

Four more phases occur during meiosis than during mitosis.

Explanation:

All the cells of the human body undergoes cell division through two mechanism namely mitosis and meiosis. The somatic cells undergo cell division mitotically whereas the germ cells undergo cell division meiotically. The stages of both mitosis and meiosis are as follows:

Stage of mitosis:

It happens in four stages:

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase

Stages of meiosis:

It happens in eight stages:

• Prophase I
• Prophase II
• Metaphase I
• Metaphase II
• Anaphase I
• Anaphase II
• Telophase I
• Telophase II

From the above given data it can be inferred that Four more phases occur during meiosis than during mitosis.
