The three ways in which meiosis I differs from mitosis.
Introduction:
Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division which results into half the number of chromosomes in four haploid daughter cells each different from their parent cell. In this type of cell division, the chromosomes duplicate and exchange of genetic information takes place during meiosis I. The two daughter cells split their sister chromatid and again undergo the cell division called meiosis II, resulting into four haploid daughter cells.
Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in which a single cell divides into two daughter cells that consists the same number of chromosomes same as their parent nucleus due to duplication of parent nucleus. The nuclear division or mitosis is followed by the process of cytokinesis. It is a physical process by which the cytoplasm of parent cells divides into two daughter cells.
