Meiosis differs from mitosis in that...

Group of answer choices
A. homologous chromosomal pairs separate in anaphase I, but chromatids separate in anaphase of mitosis.
B. the cells produced at the end of meiosis are genetically different, whereas the cells produced at the end of mitosis are genetically identical.
C. the chromosome number within the daughter cells produced by meiosis is half that of the original cell, whereas chromosome number D. D. within daughter cells produced by mitosis is the same as that of the original cell.
E. recombination between nonsister chromatids of the homologous pairs takes place in meiosis but not in mitosis.

Meiosis is the production of sex cells which will always be genetically diverse, hence why their is always genetic diversity when it come to the offspring of sexual reproduction. Mitosis, however, will always produce identical cells because all the process is is duplicating DNA in one cell and getting it ready to become split off to become another.
