Question

both mitosis and meiosis must start with interphase. true false meiosis ii is similar to mitosis in that... a. homologous chromosomes synapse b. dna replicates before the division c. the daughter cells are diploid d. sister chromatids separate during anaphase e. the chromosome number is reduced

Explanation:

• For the first question: Both mitosis and meiosis require interphase for DNA replication and cell growth preparation.
• For the second question: In meiosis II and mitosis, sister chromatids separate during anaphase. In meiosis II, there is no DNA replication before division (unlike meiosis I), homologous chromosomes do not synapse (synapsis is in meiosis I), daughter cells of meiosis II are haploid (not diploid), and chromosome number is not reduced further in meiosis II (reduction occurs in meiosis I).

Answer:

• First question: True
• Second question: d. sister chromatids separate during anaphase
