Which of the following is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?

Options

AHomologous chromosomes behave independently
BChromatids are separated during anaphase
CHomologous chromosomes pair and form bivalents
DHomologous chromosomes crossover.

Correct answer

B. Chromatids are separated during anaphase

Step-by-step solution

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.
