Question

In meiosis, as opposed to mitosis,
A) genetically identical daughter cells are produced.
B) pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs.
C) crossing over cannot take place.
D) there is no cytokinesis.
E) only two daughter cells are formed.

Answer 1

The answer is option B, when homologous chromosomes are paired it is called Synapsis and happens in Meiosis only.

Answer 2

In meiosis, as opposed to mitosis - B) pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs.

Meiosis

Cells can divide and reproduce in two ways that are mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells whereas meiosis results in four gamets.

Synapsis is the matching-up of homologous pairs that occur prior to their segregation during prophase 1. It can possibly lead to crossing over, responsible for providing gentic diversity in individuals.
