Mitosis vs Meiosis I Anaphase — NEET Biology

Which of the following statements regarding the role and implications of Meiosis II are NOT correct? S1: If a cell skips Meiosis II, the two cells formed after Meiosis I will each contain a haploid number of chromosomes, but each chromosome will still consist of two sister chromatids. S2: Skipping Meiosis II would result in the formation of two diploid gametes, thereby maintaining the diploid chromosome number across generations. S3: The primary purpose of Meiosis II is to separate homologous chromosomes, leading to the reduction of chromosome number. S4: Nondisjunction of sister chromatids during Anaphase II would lead to gametes with abnormal chromosome numbers. S5: Genetic recombination is crucial for increasing genetic variability and occurs primarily during the pachytene stage of Meiosis I. S6: In the absence of Meiosis II, the DNA content of the resulting cells would be 1C, similar to normal haploid gametes.
