A
Crossing over of genetic material
B
Formation of two identical daughter cells
C
Separation of homologous chromosomes
D
Reduction of chromosome number by half
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key differences between mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.
Recognize that crossing over of genetic material occurs during meiosis I, not meiosis II, and is not a feature of mitosis.
Identify that the separation of homologous chromosomes occurs during meiosis I, not meiosis II, and is not a feature of mitosis.
Understand that the reduction of chromosome number by half is a characteristic of meiosis, specifically during meiosis I, and does not occur in mitosis.
Conclude that the formation of two identical daughter cells is a process unique to mitosis, as meiosis results in genetically diverse cells.
