Which of the following occurs in meiosis but not in mitosis?
A) chromosome replication
B) synapsis of chromosomes
C) production of daughter cells
D) alignment of chromosomes at the equator
E) condensation of chromatin

Answer :

The process that occurs in meiosis but not in mitosis is: synapsis of chromosomes

MEIOSIS AND MITOSIS:

  • Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in the production of four daughter cells (haploid) that are genetically different from one another.

  • Meiosis occurs in different stages namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

  • In the prophase stage, homologous chromosomes lie side by side to form a structure called tetrad. This process is called synapsis.

  • Synapsis of chromosomes is unique to only meiotic division and hence, does not occur in mitotic division.
