Solution

The correct option is B False
DNA replicates in both mitosis and meiosis. In meiosis, the cell undergoes two divisions, i.e., meiosis I and II.
Meiosis I is reduction division and meiosis II is similar to mitosis but DNA replicates only once during meiosis, i.e. before meiosis I in the S phase.
The given statement is False.

Question 28

A cell has 32 chromosomes. It undergoes mitotic division. What will be the chromosome number (n) during metaphase? What would be the DNA content (C) during anaphase?

Q. Assertion: During meiotic cell division, the chromosome content of the daughter cells is halved by the end of meiosis I itself. Yet, meiosis II is essential for generation of haploid cells.
Reason: During meiosis II, the duplicated sister chromatids separate from each other and are distributed into the haploid daughter cells.
