B) Mitosis
C) Division
D) A and C are true
E) All of the above are true
Answer =
The following is included in the Meiotic phase of the cell cycle
D) A and C are true
Explanation = In meiotic phase both happens that is reduction and division.
A) Reduction - the meiosis is the reductive mechanism in which chromosomes are reduced in their number.
The meiosis involves two divisions of genetic material.The first division is called as meiosis I in which there is reduction of chromosomes takes place. that is 2n or 46 chromosomes are reduced to n or 23 chromosomes.
C) Division = there are two divisions of meiosis II . meiosis I and Meiosis II.
In meiosis I there is reduction of chromosomes takes place. that is 2n or 46 chromosomes are reduced to n or 23 chromosomes.
and meiosis II , the cell divides to yield four daughter cells.
