Consider this list and answer the question below using these five possibilities. Which TWO of the above apply uniquely to MITOSIS? I. Can occur in either haploid or diploid cells. II. Attempts to assure that daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. III. Involves pairing between homologous chromosomes. IV. Generates progeny with a variety of genotypes. V. Produces progeny cells with half the amount of DNA as the parent. 1. I and II 2. II and III 3. III and V 4. IV and V 5. II and VQuestion Q25.3. Knowing what happens in meiosis, major landmarks in the process, and differences with mitosis Q25.3. The total DNA content of each daughter cell is reduced during meiosis because A. chromosomes do not replicate during the interphase preceding meiosis I B. chromosomes do not replicate between meiosis I and II C. half of the chromosomes from each gamete are lost during fertilization D. sister chromatids separate during anaphase of meiosis I E. chromosome arms are lost during crossing over.
