Question

Which of the following is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis? (A) Homologous chromosomes behave independently (B) Chromatids are separated during anaphase (C) Homologous chromosomes pair and form bivalents (D) Homologous chromosomes crossover.

Mitosis is equational division in which two chromatids of a chromosome separates during anaphase. Chromosomes align at the equator during metaphase and 2 spindle fibre attaches to each chromosome. During anaphase, the kinetochore are pulled apart and centromere splits and chromatids are separated.
