Question

which statement describes a process that takes place in meiosis but not mitosis?
chromatids are separated.
cytokinesis occurs.
new cells are produced.

Explanation:

In mitosis, chromatids separate during anaphase, cytokinesis occurs to divide the cytoplasm and new cells are produced. However, homologous chromosomes pairing up (synapsis) is a unique process to meiosis, specifically in prophase I. It does not occur in mitosis.

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes pair up.
