Crossing over does not occur in Prophase of Mitosis, while crossing over definitely occurs in Prophase I of Meiosis. On the other hand Prophase of Mitosis is comparatively shorter than Prophase I. The first stage of Meiosis one that is Prophase I is very long phase consisting of other sub stages. Mitosis occurs in all organisms except viruses, while Meiosis occurs only in Plants, Animals and Fungi.ĭeeper comparison between Mitosis & Meiosis :. Meiosis has two round of cell division and the process has a total eight stages of cell division which are. 
Mitosis process has four stages of cell division which are: While the all four daughter cells produced by Meiosis are genetically different from each other.
The two daughter cells that are produced by Mitosis are genetically similar to each other. Gametes have exactly half the number of chromosome from the parent cells. These daughter cells of Meiosis are called gametes. In Meiosis daughter cells produced are produced haploid with only one set of chromosome. In Mitosis daughter cells are diploid with two sets of chromosomes just like parent cell,. One of the major difference between Mitosis & Meiosis is the chromosomal number of the daughter cells. Mitosis produces two daughter cells, while Meiosis produces four daughter cells after completion of cell division. That simply means Mitosis is a single step cell division, while Meiosis is a two step cell division, and this results Meiosis having two phases namely Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Mitosis has only one cell division while Meiosis involves two successive cell divisions. The process of Meiosis however has different names in both the sexes, due to the different cells produced as an end result, Meiosis is also referred to as over genesis that is the process of ovum production in females and spermatogenesis that is the sperm production process in males.Īnother major difference is that Mitosis is used as a mode of asexual reproduction in lower organisms, while Meiosis helps in forming gametes for sexual reproduction. On the other hand Meiosis occurs in males and females giving rise to haploid sperm and egg cells respectively. That means Mitosis occuring irrespective of whether the individual is a male or a female give rise to somatic cells, which are exact copies of the parent cells. Mitosis is occurs in the somatic or body cells, while Meiosis is occurs in exclusively in the reproductive cells. Major differences between Mitosis & Meiosis : M( Mitosis/ Meiosis) phase, this phase carries out the division of the cell. Interphase, which helps in the preparation of the cells for the division. 
Cell cycle is one of the most breathtaking processes that helps the cells to not only grow but also divide.
