Just wondering if there is a difference between mitosis and meioses when viewed through a slide?

Where will I see the difference? Would it be in Meiosis I with the elongated prophase I, where the difference will occur? What will I see in the leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis will be more noticeable? (By the way these are part of Meiosis I)

 

And what is the difference, on a visual base when viewing the difference of Meiosis I and Meiosis II?

Was for a lab. The difference in my mind was that you would see crossing over of the chromosome (bunny ears) in middle prophase I for meisos I. While nothing like that for mitosis. Now wondering can you see the difference in the number of chromosomes between the two (mitosis and meisos)? Wouldn't work i think because of different chromosome numbers counts...

 

Run the risk if naming my sections: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis, better to name by early, mid, and late phases.
