As compared to meiosis, in mitosis
Options
- Ahomologous chromosomes form pairs.
- Bdaughters have half chromosome number.
- Ctelophase stage is absent.
- Dthe prophase is shorter.
Correct answer
D. the prophase is shorter.
Step-by-step solution
Mitosis is equational diffusion in which prophase is very short as compared to prophase of meiosis which is very long. Pairing of homologous chromosomes, reduction in number of chromosomes and absent of telophase I occurs only in meiosis.
