Since it was a short week, and one day we got a free day, we didn't learn as much as usual. This week we finished reviewing Mitosis and started learning about Meiosis. Mitosis and Meiosis are a lot alike. Mitosis has only four stages but Meiosis has ten phases.


Mitosis is the seperation of one cell into two cells. That's why it only goes through four phases.

Meiosis is the seperation of one cell into four cells. The phases in Mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase. The phases in Meiosis are Diploid, Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telephase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telephase II, and Gamete. I think Meiosis is just Mitosis twice with two new phases.
