Answer:
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate.
Meiosis II produces 4 haploid daughter cells, whereas Meiosis I produces 2 diploid daughter cells.
Genetic recombination (crossing over) only occurs in meiosis I
Step-by-step explanation:
Meiosis is a way sex cells (gametes) divide. Since sex cells determine the genetic code of offspring, meiosis attempts to create unique combinations of chromosomes in gametes.
