2. What is the difference between meiosis I and meiosis II? A.) Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes; Meiosis II separates sister chromatids. B. Meiosis I occurs in somatic cells; Meiosis , II occurs in gametes. C. Meiosis I results in diploid cells; Meiosis II results in haploid cells. D. Meiosis I involves DNA replication; Meiosis II does not.

. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes; Meiosis II separates sister chromatids.<br /><br />Meiosis I is the reductional division where homologous chromosomes (one from each parent) pair up and then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. Meiosis II is similar to mitosis, where sister chromatids (identical copies of a chromosome) separate.<br />
