Which of the statements below is NOT TRUE about meiosis and/or mitosis.

One reason meiosis I is different from mitosis because homologous pairs of chromosomes line up next to each other and then separate.
Daughter cells are produced in meiosis with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
No exchange of genetic material is exchanged during meiosis, so there is no genetic diversity as a result of this process.

i wanna say the answer is B but im not 100% on that

abhisar · Answer

No actually B is correct since i just told ya that meiosis is reductional division which means it results in the reduction of chromosome number. Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes.

so i am correct right ?

abhisar · Answer

You have to select the statement which is not correct....

rissyroo118 · Answer

oh my , i read my own question wrong hahaha.

abhisar · Answer

So which one would you select now?

rissyroo118 · Answer

i wanna say D

abhisar · Answer

Yes C is incorrect because meiosis results in genetic variations due to crossing over (exchange of genetic material).
