Question

In meiosis, division is

• A. Meiosis I reductional and II equational
• B. Meiosis I equational and II reductional
• C. Both reductional
• D. Both equational

Answer 1

The correct option is A Meiosis I reductional and II equational

In meiosis I, the division is reductional, while in meiosis II, the division is equational. In reduction division, the chromosome number is reduced from diploid (46 chromosomes) to haploid (23 chromosomes). Also known as first meiotic division and first meiosis. The second meiotic division is an equational division because it does not reduce chromosome numbers.
