Question

which of the following processes happens during meiosis i? four daughter cells are formed. the chromosome number per cell is conserved. homologous chromosomes of a pair are separated from each other. sister chromatids are separated.

Explanation:

• In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis), exchange genetic material (crossing - over), and then are separated from each other.
• Four daughter cells are formed at the end of meiosis II, not meiosis I.
• The chromosome number per cell is halved in meiosis I (reductional division), not conserved.
• Sister chromatids are separated in meiosis II.

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes of a pair are separated from each other.
