Synapsis of homologous chromosomes occurs only in meiosis and not in mitosis. In meiosis, there is a pairing of homologous chromosomes that involves synapsis and results in genetic recombination between the paired chromosomes. In mitosis, there is no pairing between homologous chromosomes. Chromosome replication, production of daughter cells, and alignment of chromosomes at the equator occur in both mitosis and meiosis. Condensation of chromatin also occurs in both mitosis and meiosis, although the extent of condensation is greater in mitosis.
