A human cell in prophase of mitosis can be distinguished from a human cell in prophase I of meiosis by the presence of (A) paired homologous chromosomes in the meiotic cell. (B) kinetochores in the mitotic cell (C) a spindle in the mitotic cell (D) twice as many chromosomes in the mitotic cell (E) half as many chromosomes in the meiotic cell

A human cell in prophase of mitosis can be distinguished from a human cell in prophase I of meiosis by the presence of paired homologous chromosomes in the meiotic cell.

CELL DIVISION:

Cell division involves two processes namely: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to one another. Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four daughter cells that are genetically different from one another. Mitosis and meiosis as types of cell divisions involves phases namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The major difference between prophase of mitosis and prophase I of meiosis is that homologous chromosomes, which are similar but non-identical chromosomes from each parent, are paired.
