Answer:
Similarities of Mitosis and Meiosis :))
Explanation:
Mitosis and meiosis have different purposes, but share common features in how they work.
Easy Answer:
-Both can divide (option 1)
-Same number of chromosomes as the original cell (option 4)
-Both have the basic 5 phases
Multiple Stages
Both mitosis and meiosis are multistage processes. The stages are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The same general processes occur in each of these stages for mitosis and meiosis. Interphase is cell growth and DNA replication in preparation for cell division. Prophase is when the nuclear membrane degrades. Metaphase is when the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Anaphase is when the chromosomes are pulled apart. Lastly, telophase is when one cell splits into two separate cells.
DNA Replication
Mitosis and meiosis both involve duplication of a cell’s DNA content. Each strand of DNA, or chromosome, is replicated and remains joined, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome. A common goal of mitosis and meiosis is to split the nucleus and its DNA content between two daughter cells. Before DNA can be separated between two cells, it must be duplicated and then condensed into a form that can be efficiently transported. The condensed form of DNA is called chromosomes. Chromosomes can be physically pulled apart, and make separating long strands of DNA easier for the cell because the DNA strands become like a tightly wrapped yarn ball.
