Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, describe how the main stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase)are the same and how they differ between mitosis and meiosis I. Next, compare mitosis and meiosis II, noting any similarities anddifferences in the processes. Finally, explain specific processesat specific stages of meiosis that lead to the high geneticvariability we see in sexually reproducingorganisms.
