Feature | Anaphase of Mitosis | Anaphase I of Meiosis |
---|---|---|
Chromosome Behavior | Sister chromatids separate at the centromere and move toward opposite poles. | Homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) separate and move toward opposite poles. |
Centromere Division | Centromeres divide, allowing sister chromatids to separate. | Centromeres do not divide; sister chromatids remain attached. |
Genetic Composition | Daughter chromosomes are genetically identical to each other. | Chromosomes moving to opposite poles have different genetic material due to recombination. |
Outcome | Results in two genetically identical diploid daughter cells. | Results in two haploid cells, each with a unique combination of chromosomes. |
Role in Organism | Involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. | Involved in sexual reproduction, contributing to genetic diversity. |
Occurrence | Occurs during somatic cell division. | Occurs during gamete formation in meiosis. |
