Question: what is the difference between prophase 1 and prophase 2 in meiosis?
Answer: Prophase I is the beginning phase of Meiosis I while Prophase II is the beginning phase of Meiosis II. There is a long interphase before Prophase I, whereas Prophase II occurs without an interphase. ... The pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs in Prophase I, whereas such process cannot be seen in Prophase II.
