Which of these things happen in meiosis but NOT mitosis? you can choose multiple answers. A. crossing over happens B. microtubules attach to chromosomes C. diploid cells are formed D. haploid cells are formed E. homologous chromosomes pair up F. sister chromatids separate
Which of the following differentiates meiosis from mitosis? mitosis is used for the repair of cells, whereas meiosis creates cells for sexual reproduction. In mitosis four identical daughter cells are produced, whereas two genetically different cells are produced in meiosis meiosis is a form of asexual division, whereas mitosis is a form of sexual division mitosis occurs in prokaryotic cells, whereas meiosis occurs in eukaryotic cells

One reason that worker bees forgo their own reproduction to help their sister (the queen) reproduce is that female bees are more closely related to their sisters than they are to their own offspring. This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.
Which of these things happens in meiosis but Not mitosis? A. sister chromatids separate from each other B. diploid daughter cells are formed C. homologous chromosomes pair up
Even though the processes are very similar, mitosis and meiosis are two very distinct processes. What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis? a. Mitosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell, while meiosis also starts with diploid but results in haploid cells. b. Mitosis only occurs in plants and single cell organisms, while meiosis only occurs in animals. c. Mitosis starts with diploid but results in haploid cells, while meiosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell.
Which is more similar to anaphase of mitosis, anaphase 1 or anaphase 2 of meiosis? Why? Group of answer choices 1. anaphase 1 because sister chromatids are being separated 2. anaphase 2 because homologous chromosomes are being separated 3. anaphase 2 because sister chromatids are being separated 4. anaphase 1 because homologous chromosomes are being separated
