Separation of sister   chromatids takes place. Homologous chromosomes are separated.
Only one chromatid of every   chromosome moves to the   pole. The number and types   of chromosomes at each pole   is the same as in the parent   nucleus. Chromosomes are   single-stranded Each homologous pair of chromosomes moves to
the pole with both the chromatids.chromosomes are   double-stranded
The chromatids moving to   one  pole are genetically   identical to those moving
to the opposite pole.
The chromosomes moving to one pole are not
genetically identical to those moving to theopposite   pole.
