Question

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 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.

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, phase I (meiosis I) involves the separation of homologous chromosomes resulting in two haploid cells, whereas phase II (meiosis II) separates sister chromatids, ultimately resulting in a total of four haploid daughter cells.
