    During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

    A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

    B the cytoplasm divides

    C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

    D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

    E two identical daughter cells are produced

    Answer:

    D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

    Explanation:

    Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells - sperm in males, eggs in females.

    In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

    In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

    During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
