Question: what is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase 1 in meiosis?
Answer: In metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads align on the metaphase plate. In metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes align there. In anaphase I of meiosis, centromeres don't divide, and sister chromatids don't separate. ... In mitosis, there is only one division and it produces two daughter cells.
