Which division in meiosis is more similar to mitosis? In which division do sister chromatids separate from each other?

Meiosis I; Meiosis 2

In Meiosis I, it is just like the phases of Mitosis:

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase.

In Meiosis 2, it is also the same, but the DNA is not replicated. Instead the chromatids are pulled apart and you are left with 4 gamete cells.
