Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between meiosis II and mitosis in terms of chromosome behavior?

  • In meiosis II, homologous chromosomes are separated, while in mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
  • In meiosis II, there is no genetic material replication, while in mitosis, the DNA does not replicate.
  • In meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated, while in mitosis, homologous chromosomes are separated. (correct)
  • In meiosis II, no separation of chromosomes occurs, while in mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
  • Why are you not an exact replica of your siblings even though you have the same parents?

  • As a result of identical segregation of sister chromatids in meiosis II.
  • Because the crossing over of genetic material occurs during meiosis II.
  • Due to the random assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I. (correct)
  • Due to the absence of genetic recombination in mitosis.
  • What event in meiosis is responsible for creating new combinations of genetic material in each resulting daughter cell?

  • Separation of homologous chromosomes in anaphase II
  • Meeting in the metaphase plate during metaphase II
  • Crossing over during prophase I (correct)
  • Separation of sister chromatids in anaphase I
  • Why does meiosis II exhibit the same chromosome behavior as mitosis?
