Meiosis differs from mitosis in the __________. a. way in which sister chromatids separate b. number of cells produced immediately after the starting cells divide c. number of chromosomes in the starting cells d. number of sister chromatids in the starting cells e. number of chromosomes in each ending cell

Answer 1

Meiosis differs from mitosis in the number of chromosomes in each ending cell. In addition, one of the purposes of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number in each cell by half and meiosis contains two rounds of division which is meiosis I and meiosis II and ends with four gametes that are not the same genetically.
