Mitosis and Meiosis

The difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis had 50% of chromosomes and mitosis had 100% of chromosomes. These two things have similar steps. The steps are: ProphaseI, MetaphaseI, AnaphaseI, TelaphaseI, ProphaseII, MetaphaseII, AnaphaseII, and TelaphaseII. That is meiosis and the cell that is created is diploid cell. The steps for mitosis is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telaphase. The cell that is created here is a haploid cell. A reason so having 50% chromosomes in meiosis because the need room for egg chromosomes. Also some of the steps are a little different. The chromosomes cross over so there will be 50, 50 on each side. If not something could possibly go wrong in the steps. You also have a gene in your body. Half of it is from your father and the other half is from your mother. That's how you look like your parents or you could just look like one of them. This happens because there is more DNA in the chromosome of one of your parents than the other.
