Question

Which of the following is a difference between phase I and phase II of meiosis?(1 point)
Responses

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

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.

Answer 1

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

Explanation: Meiosis I reduces the chromosome number (homologs separate) producing two haploid cells; meiosis II separates sister chromatids, yielding four haploid daughter cells (gametes).
