The correct answer is "In prophase I, tetrads of homologous chromosomes form and crossing over occurs".
Explanation:
Mitosis is a type of cell division at which one parent cells produces two daughter cells with identical genomic content and with the same number of chromosomes as the parent. On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division at which four daughter cells are produced with half the number of chromosomes respect to the parent cell. The major difference between prophase I of meiosis and prophase of mitosis, is that in prophase I of meiosis, tetrads of homologous chromosomes form and crossing over occurs. The tetrads of chromosomes are the ones that later will make the genomic content of the four daughter cells, while the crossing over is what allows the genetic variations of the sexual cells.
Put one drop on the dimple tile, and the rest in a test tube. Then put the teat pipette back in the water outside the Visking tubing. Test the drops of liquid in the dimple tile by adding one drop of iodine solution from the dropper bottle. If they turn blue-black, the liquid contains starch.
