How does metaphase 1 and metaphase 2 differ?

Best Answers

The Metaphase II is found in meiosis II, and it is very similar to the Metaphase found in mitosis I. In this step too chromosomes get arranged on the Metaphase plate and are attached to the completed spindle. What is the difference between Metaphase 1 and Metaphase 2? read more

In Metaphase I, the spindle fibers get attached to two centromeres of each homologous chromosome. In Metaphase II, the spindle fibers get attached to one centromere from both sides. read more

In metaphase 1 of meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes are separated while in metaphase 2 of meiosis 2, sister chromatids are separated. In metaphase 1, two members of each bivalent repel each other and move towards the opposite poles. In metaphase 2, the centromere divides and two chromatids of each chromosome separate and move towards the poles. read more

• In Metaphase I, the ‘pairs of chromosomes’ are arranged on the Metaphase plate while, in the Metaphase II, the ‘chromosomes’ are arranged on the metaphase plate. • In Metaphase I, the spindle fibers get attached to two centromeres of each homologous chromosome. read more
