In which behaviour of chromosomes do mitosis and meiosis differ from each other? In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs but don't cross over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes remain separate and undergo crossing overr. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes don't lie in pairs and don't undergo crossing over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes lie in pairs and get crossed over. In mitosis, chromosomes, as a whole, move towards the opposite poles; whereas, in meiosis I, chromatids move towards the opposite poles. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs, and form chiasmata; whereas, in mitosis homologous chromosomes don't undergo synapsis or crossing over.
