Question

Responses

Genetic variations can only occur during phase II of meiosis.
Genetic variations can only occur during phase II of meiosis.

Anaphase, metaphase, and telophase only occurs during phase I of meiosis.
Anaphase, metaphase, and telophase only occurs during phase I of meiosis.

Phase I results in daughter cells with 23 chromosomes each and phase II with 46 chromosomes each.
Phase I results in daughter cells with 23 chromosomes each and phase II with 46 chromosomes each.

Phase I results in two haploid daughter cells and phase II results in four haploid daughter cells.

Answer 1

The correct response that identifies a difference between phase I and phase II of meiosis is:

Phase I results in two haploid daughter cells and phase II results in four haploid daughter cells.

In meiosis, Phase I (meiosis I) involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid cells, while Phase II (meiosis II) involves the separation of sister chromatids in those haploid cells, ultimately resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
