Question

Responses

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.

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.

Genetic variations can only occur during phase II of meiosis.

Answer 1

The correct response regarding 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.

To clarify, during meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in two haploid daughter cells, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids in those daughter cells, ultimately leading to four haploid daughter cells.

The other options provided contain inaccuracies regarding chromosome numbers and the stages of meiosis.
