In anaphase I of meiosis, chromatids separate.
False
What is the outcome of mitosis in terms of cell number and ploidy?
One diploid cell becomes two diploid cells
What is the purpose of crossing over during prophase I of meiosis?
To increase genetic recombination

Metaphase I
What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis in terms of DNA replication?
Meiosis has one replication and one division, while mitosis has two replications and two divisions
What is the result of cytokinesis during telophase I of meiosis?
The formation of two diploid cells
What is the characteristic of anaphase II of meiosis?
Chromatids separate
Test your understanding of the two types of cell division processes - Mitosis and Meiosis. Learn about the differences in their stages, outcomes, and purposes in the human body. Identify the characteristics of each process and how they relate to somatic cells and reproduction.
