characteristics of meiosis
only
metaphase i: chromosome pairs line up
anaphase
anaphase ii : ½ the number of sister chromatids separated
telophase
divides one time
four different cells made
metaphase: sister chromatids line up
two identical cells made
metaphase
metaphase ii : ½ the number of sister chromatids line up
anaphase: sister chromatids are separated
divides two times
prophase
anaphase i: chromosome pairs are separated

Explanation:

• Similarities: Stages common to both mitosis and meiosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
• Mitosis Only: Produces 2 identical cells via 1 division; metaphase has sister chromatids lining up.
• Meiosis Only: Produces 4 different cells via 2 divisions; metaphase I has chromosome pairs, anaphase I separates pairs, metaphase II/anaphase II involve half the chromatids.

Answer:

Category	Descriptions
Characteristics of Mitosis Only	Divides one time, Metaphase: sister chromatids line up, Two identical cells made
Characteristics of Meiosis Only	Divides two times, Metaphase I: Chromosome pairs line up, Anaphase I: chromosome pairs are separated, Metaphase II: ½ the number of sister chromatids line up, Anaphase II: ½ the number of sister chromatids separated, Four different cells made
