Which process is the same in mitosis and meiosis II?
A.Separation of sister chromatids
B.Pairing of homologous chromosomes
C.Crossing over
D.Reduction of ploidy
Explanation
Core Concept
Both mitosis and meiosis II include separation of sister chromatids to opposite poles. That shared chromosome behavior makes the two divisions similar. The starting ploidy is an important difference, but it is not literally the only biological difference in the cells, prior events, or genetic context.
Correct Answer
ASeparation of sister chromatids
