How are mitosis and meiosis 1 similar? (apex)

Similarities - Both are mode of cell division, have similar steps of division, and produce diploid cell at some point of cell division process.

Explanation:

In both meiosis and mitosis the following similarities exists –

a)These both are the mode of cell division

b)  Mitosis produces diploid cell. However meiosis has two parts – Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In meiosis I , diploid cells are produced while in meiosis II these diploid cell further divide to form haploid cell

c)They both follow similar steps i.e prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
