Which of the following does NOT describe meiosis?
|
|
sexual reproduction
|
|
|
reduction division
|
|
|
increases genetic variation
|
|
|
produces identical copies
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1. Sex cells in humans are produced by meiosis. In males, all four child cells are sperms while in females, one child cell is an egg and the other 3 are polar bodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike the sister chromatids in mitosis, the sister chromatids in meiosis are not genetically identical due to crossing over. Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: The stage of DNA replication occurs, but not in meiosis.
