AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated. Subsequently, during meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate to produce a total of four products, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -During anaphase I, the homologous chromosome pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers attached to the centrioles.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Meiosis I homologous chromosomes segregate, while in Meiosis II sister chromatids segregate. Most multicellular organisms use meiosis to produce gametes, the cells that fuse to make offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -In meiosis I, chromosomes in a diploid cell resegregate, producing four haploid daughter cells. It is this step in meiosis that generates genetic diversity. DNA replication precedes the start of meiosis I. During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses, a step unique to meiosis.
