Choose the statement that best describes the difference between mitosis and meiosis Mitosis is UNEQUAL division; meiosis is EQUAL with genetic variation. Mitosis separates linked genes; meiosis separates unlinked, independently assorting genes. Mitosis is EQUAL division without genetic variation; meiosis is reduction division with genetic variation. Mitosis requires one S phase; meiosis involves two S phases, one for each division.

Though the stages of meiosis have the same names as the stages of mitosis, they exhibit fundamental differences. What are the main differences between the two processes? Meiosis differs from mitosis in that the number of chromosomes is halved and genetic variation is introduced in meiosis, but not in mitosis Meiosis differs from mitosis in that the number of chromosomes is halved and genetic variation is reduced in meiosis, but not in mitosis. Metaphase and telophase portions of meiosis and mitosis are the same. Meiosis and mitosis are also the same, except for the number of chromosomes. Anaphase I and anaphase are different. Prophase and telophase portions of meiosis and mitosis are the same. Meiosis II and mitosis are also the same and have the same number of chromosomes. Anaphase I and anaphase are different.
