Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis II differs from mitosis in that the cells produced are haploid, which means they only have one copy of each chromosome rather than two copies (as in mitosis). Choice A and D are both descriptions of events that occur during meiosis I, not meiosis II. Choice B describes an event that occurs in both meiosis II and mitosis. Choice E is a description of an event that occurs during meiosis I, when homologous chromosomes separate.
