Question

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

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

Answer 1

A)
This is because the lining up of homologous pairs does not affect the process; the processes deviate from one another when chromosomes are pulled to different ends.
