Responses

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.

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 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.

Genetic variations can only occur during phase II of meiosis.

Answer 1

The correct response that highlights the 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) consists of the separation of homologous chromosomes, leading to two haploid daughter cells, while phase II (meiosis II) involves the separation of sister chromatids, which ultimately results in four haploid daughter cells.
