Question 2 • IL-Science 7 A
Meiosis includes crossing over and the independent assortment of chromosomes, which produce genetically different cells. It reduces the chromosome number by half, generating haploid cells, and has two rounds of nuclear division. Both meiosis and mitosis involve prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and both can begin with a diploid cell, so those are not unique to meiosis.
