Well if you're talking about mitosis, the differences are insignificant.

If you're talking about meiosis, then the differences is that DNA replication only occurs prior to prophase 1 and does not occur prior to prophase 2 in order to produce haploid gamete cells, rather than diploid somatic cells.

I hope this was detailed enough. There are more differences, but I doubt you need to know them, based on your question.

What are the step to meiosis?

The steps to Meiosis are ;~ Prophase 1~ Metaphase 1~ Anaphase 1~ Telephase 1~ Prophase 2~ Metaphase 2~ Anaphase 2~ Telephase 2


What is the first phase in meiosis?

Meiosis 1: Prophase 1, Metaphase1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1. Meiosis 2: Prophase 1, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2. Makes 4 daughter cells that contain 4 chromosomes each.


What is the correct order for the sequence of meiosis?

Interphase Prophase 1 Metaphase 1 Anaphase 1 Telophase 1 Cytokinesis 1 Prophase 2 Metaphase 2 Anaphase 2 Telophase 2 Cytokinesis 2


What are the 9 stages of meiosis?

The 9 stages of meiosis are: interphase, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, cytokinesis I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II, and cytokinesis II.


Does meiosis 2 have a prophase stage?

Yes, it does, only it is called prophase 2 or prophase II.


How does prophase you of meiosis differ from prophase of mitosis?

a. chromatids do not separate at the centromere in anaphase I. b. centromeres do not exist in anaphase I. c. crossing-over occurs only in anaphase of miitosis


How many cells are in prophase 2?

There are two cells in prophase II.


During which phase does the chromatin condense into chromosomes?

The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase


What major event happens just before prophase 1 of meiosis but does not occur before prophase 2?

Crossing over of genetic material occurs just before prophase 1 of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange segments. This event does not occur before prophase 2 because homologous chromosomes have already separated during meiosis I.


What is the difference between prophase 1 and 2?

DURING PROPHASE I:Crossing over happens in chromosomes where genetic information is swapped from chromosome to another at a chiasma (chiasmata for multiple crossing over sections)Cell is Diploid 46 chromosomesDURING PROPHASE II:No Crossing over at this point, as it has already happened during prophase I.Cell is Haploid 23 chromosomesRead more: What_is_the_difference_between_prophase_I_and_prophase_II_of_meiosis


How many cell division in mitosis in mitosis?

1 splits in two


What is the sequence of meiosis?

Meiosis consists of two main stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two haploid cells. In Meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in four haploid cells.
