Which of the following is a difference between phase I and phase II of meiosis?(1 point)
Responses
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 two haploid daughter cells and phase II results in four haploid daughter cells.
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.
This statement accurately describes a key difference between the two phases of meiosis. Meiosis I includes processes that reduce the number of chromosomes by half, such as homologous chromosome separation, resulting in haploid cells. Meiosis II is similar to a mitotic division where the sister chromatids separate, leading to a further division of the haploid cells from meiosis I into four haploid daughter cells.
