A) two daughter cells at completion does not occur in Meiosis.In meiosis, the starting cell divides into four haploid daughter cells after two nuclear divisions. Therefore, option B) "four daughter cells at completion" is a characteristic of meiosis. Option C) "two nuclear divisions" is also a characteristic of meiosis. Option D) "formation of bivalents" occurs in prophase I of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up and form bivalents (also known as tetrads) during the process of synapsis.Therefore, the correct answer is A) two daughter cells at completion.

answer

the suitable option is A. two daughter cells at completion

reason:

in meiosis there are two nuclear divisions, which result in the formation of four daughter cells with haploid nuclei. this is in contrast to mitosis, which results in the formation of two daughter cells with diploid nuclei. the process of forming bivalents, or pairs of homologous chromosomes, occurs during prophase I of meiosis
