What is the difference between Meiosis I and Meiosis II?

Meiosis I reduces the chromosome number by half, while Meiosis II separates sister chromatids.

Meiosis I involves DNA replication, while Meiosis II does not.

Meiosis I occurs in somatic cells, while Meiosis II occurs in germ cells.

Meiosis I produces two identical daughter cells, while Meiosis II produces four genetically identical cells.

What happens during Anaphase II of Meiosis?

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Homologous chromosomes are separated to opposite poles of the cell.

Chromosomes are replicated to form sister chromatids.

The nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

What is the significance of crossing over during Prophase I?

Crossing over increases genetic diversity by exchanging genetic material between homologous chromosomes.

Crossing over ensures that chromosomes are evenly distributed to daughter cells.

Crossing over occurs only in mitosis and not in meiosis.

Crossing over helps in the repair of damaged DNA.
