Question

How is metaphase of mitosis different from metaphase I of meiosis?

Answer 1

Metaphase I in Meiosis

The homologous pair is a representation of the same DNA but has different alleles. The homologous pairs will attach to each other during metaphase I and they undergo the alignment on the metaphase plate, unlike in mitosis where the sister chromatids are the ones that align on the metaphase plate.

Answer 2

In metaphase I of meiosis they undergo the alignment on the metaphase plate, unlike in mitosis where the sister chromatids are the ones that align on the metaphase plate.
