Mitosis produces two diploid cells that are genetically identical to each other while meiosis produces four haploid gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the parent cell.

The male and female haploid cells fuse to form a zygote in meiosis.

Homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads in the cell in meiosis. This is the cell division that needs crossing over and genetic variation.

In Mitosis, chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell during anaphase. In Meiosis, the sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell during Anaphase 2.

Answer - Option D. Chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell
