Regarding meiosis and mitosis, one difference between the two forms of cellular reproduction is that in meiosis

Regarding meiosis and mitosis, one difference between the two forms of cellular reproduction is that in meiosis Correct Answer separation of sister chromatids occurs during the second division, whereas in mitosis separation of sister chromatids occurs during the first division

B In meiosis, the sister chromatids separate during the second metaphase of meiosis (Meiosis II), whereas the sister chromatids separate during metaphase of mitosis. Choice is incorrect because in meiosis there are two rounds of cell division, whereas in mitosis there is only one round of cell division. Chromosomes are replicated during interphase in both meiosis and mitosis, so (C) is incorrect. Choice (D) can also be eliminated because spindle fibers form during prophase in both mitosis and meiosis.
