NEET Botany (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about meiosis and mitosis is correct?
During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis.
Mitosis consists of two consecutive divisions resulting in four daughter cells.
In anaphase I of meiosis, sister chromatids separate while homologous chromosomes remain together.
Telophase I in meiosis results in the formation of four haploid cells immediately after cytokinesis.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up through a process called synapsis, as stated in the NCERT context. Mitosis is a single division, and anaphase I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, not sister chromatids. Telophase I leads to the formation of two cells, not four.
