Chapter 11: Q. 8 (page 294)

The part of meiosis that is similar to mitosis is ________.

a. meiosis I

b. anaphase I

c. meiosis II

d. interkinesis

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option c.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Introduction

Cell division or reproduction occur in two ways that is mitosis and meiosis. Both mitosis and meiosis consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

02

Step 2. Explanation for correct option

Option c is correct because meiosis II is identical to mitosis as sister chromatids are separated from chromosomes and the ploidy of the parent's cell remains the same in daughter cells (equational division).

03

Step 3. The explanation for incorrect options

Option a is incorrect because meiosis I is reduction division as the haploid cell is formed from a diploid cell.

Option b is incorrect because during anaphase I homologous pairs of chromosomes are separated and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

Option d is incorrect because interkinesis or interphase II is a short resting period cell enters before mitosis II.

How do telophase I and telophase II differ during meiosis in animal cells?

a. Cells remain diploid at the end of telophase I, but are haploid at the end of telophase II.

b. Daughter cells form a cell plate to divide during telophase I, but divide by cytokinesis during telophase II.

c. Cells enter interphase after telophase I, but not after telophase II.

d. Chromosomes can remain condensed at the end of telophase I, but decondense after telophase II.
