Solution

The correct option is B

False


During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate. Homologous chromosomes do not function the same in mitosis as they do in meiosis. Prior to every single mitotic division, a cell undergoes, the DNA in the parent cell replicate themselves. The homologous chromosomes within the cell will not pair up and undergo genetic recombination with each other.
