The part of meiosis that is similar to mitosis is ________.

a. meiosis I

b. anaphase I

c. meiosis II

d. interkinesis

Cell division or reproduction occur in two ways that is mitosis and meiosis. Both mitosis and meiosis consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Option c is correct because meiosis II is identical to mitosis as sister chromatids are separated from chromosomes and the ploidy of the parent's cell remains the same in daughter cells (equational division).

Option a is incorrect because meiosis I is reduction division as the haploid cell is formed from a diploid cell.

Option b is incorrect because during anaphase I homologous pairs of chromosomes are separated and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

Option d is incorrect because interkinesis or interphase II is a short resting period cell enters before mitosis II.
