Answer:
A) they both have prophase.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cells of living organisms undergo division. The two main divisions that they undergo are Mitosis and Meiosis. Mitosis is the cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell in the sense that daughter cells have same chromosome number as parent cell. Meiosis, on the other hand, results in four daughter cells that have their chromosomal number reduced by half.
Although, these two division processes are distinct, they have things in common. According to the options in the question, they both have a PROPHASE stage. Mitosis and Meiosis are divided into the following stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. The Prophase stage begins both processes and it is generally characterized by condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes. Although, meiosis occurs in a two-step division process making it have Prophase I and II but both mitosis and meiosis have a PROPHASE stage.
