The illustration comparing meiosis and mitosis has also marked the following: Mitosis and Meiosis has the following phases:

1. Prophase
   • In this phase replicated chromosome: Once the cell enters prophase, each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
   1. In this phase Sister chromatids separate
4. Telophase and Cytokinesis (only Telophase for Meiosis)
   • For Meiosis, in this phase homologous chromosomes separate and sister chromatids stay together.
   • For Mitosis: Sister chromatids separate (2N= 4, 2 diploid daughter cells)
   • For Meiosis: Sister chromatids stay together (N=2, 2 haploid daughter cells)
