B) Chromatids separate in step 5.
C) Chromosomes are replicated in step 1.
D) Chromosomes exchange genetic material in step 3.

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D) chromosomes exchange genetic material in step 3

Explanation: the student claims that the cell division increases genetic variation, and D) is the only one which mentions exchanging genetic material/increasing variation
