What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis i in a diploid organism? a. sister chromatids separate in mitosis, while homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis i. b. only meiosis i results in daughter cells that contain identical genetic information. c. dna replication takes place prior to mitosis, but not before meiosis i. d. sister chromatids separate in mitosis, while homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis ii.

The answer is; A

In anaphase of meiosis, all the chromosome line in a single track in the metaphase plate. In metaphase I of meiosis I, chromosome line the metaphase plate of the cell in homologous pairs. This is why at the end of telophase in anaphase I, the genetic material of the daughter cells is halved while in mitosis, it remains the same. Meiosis II is usually similar to mitosis.
