Question

Some steps in cell division are shown below:

1. Daughter cells are created with 46 chromosomes each
2. Chromatids cross over and exchange sections of DNA
3. Number of chromosomes is reduced to half
4. Each daughter cell created is different from the parent cell

Which of the following steps occurs only during mitosis?

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4

Answer 1
