Distinguish anaphase of mitosis from anaphase I of meiosis

 Anaphase of mitosis:

Anaphase I of meiosis:

1. The centromere splits , chromatids get separated andchromosomes move toward opposite poles.
2. Chromosomes are genetically identical.
3. Cleavage takes place in the  centromere .

1. The homologous chromosomes get separated and chromatids remain attached at the centromeres.
2. The homologous chromosomes separate and chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
3. No cleavage takes place in the centromere.
