mieosis mitosis same charac
Meiosis and mitosis share some characteristics such as the processes of cell division and the replication of the DNA prior to the start of each process. They also involve similar phases of cell division including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. However, there are several differences between meiosis and mitosis in terms of their purpose, the number of daughter cells produced, the number of chromosomes in the resulting daughter cells, and the occurrence of genetic recombination.
