Odile struck Sunday evening near Cabo San Lucas as a Category 3 hurricane, with winds at 125 mph, the National Hurricane Center in Miami reported. It tied as the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in the Baja Peninsula, matching Hurricane Olivia in 1967, Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters said.
Here's what happens: 1  At first the cells have the same number of chromosomes as mitosis. DNA replication occurs, giving a total of 46 chromosomes (or 23 chromosome pairs) and 92 chromatids (or 46 chromatid pairs). 2  Meiosis I: In meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate.
Mitosis vs. Meiosis Both mitosis and meiosis are mechanisms that describe cell division. The difference is particularly noticeable when one looks at the DNA in the cell's nucleus. After mitosis, each of the daughter cells will have exact same DNA strands, while after meiosis each daughter cell will only have half of the DNA strands.
