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.

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.

Answer 1

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

Explanation: Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes (reducing chromosome number to haploid, two cells), and meiosis II separates sister chromatids (producing four haploid cells).
