Genetic Variation from Meiosis Quick Check 3 of 53 of 5 Items Question Which of the following is a difference between phase I and phase II of meiosis?(1 point) Responses Anaphase, metaphase, and telophase only occurs during phase I of meiosis. Anaphase, metaphase, and telophase only occurs during phase I of meiosis. Genetic variations can only occur during phase II of meiosis. Genetic variations can only occur during phase II 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. Phase I results in two haploid daughter cells and phase II results in four haploid daughter cells.

Answer 1

The correct response that highlights 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 I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid cells. In meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated, and the two haploid cells from meiosis I each divide to produce a total of four haploid daughter cells.
