Question

Which is part of meiosis but not mitosis

Answer 1

The answer is C. reductions of chromosome number.

Meiosis is also known as a reduction division of the cells. The reason for that is because during meiosis the diploid cells are divided into haploid cells. Meiosis consists of two divisions - meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced, while meiosis II is similar to mitosis. In both meiosis and mitosis, however, cell division, duplication of chromosomes, and production of new cells are common processes.
