Meiosis produces four nonidentical cells, each containing neither homologous chromosomes nor sister chromatids.Group startsTrue or False

False.

Meiosis is a process that results in four nonidentical daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell, which is essential for sexual reproduction. In the final stages of meiosis, specifically during meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated into different cells. However, it is important to note that before this division occurs, homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis I.

Therefore, the statement “each containing neither homologous chromosomes nor sister chromatids” is misleading. While the four resulting cells do not contain homologous pairs (because homologous chromosomes are separated during meiosis I), they still start off with sister chromatids before they are separated in meiosis II.

In conclusion, because the cells produced in meiosis I still contain sister chromatids until they are separated in meiosis II, the statement is false.
