What is unique to meiosis and not mitosis?

Answer :

Homologous chromosomes cross over is unique to meiosis and not mitosis.

In meiosis , synapsis (Pairing of homol-ogous chromosome), Cross-ing over (exchange of chromosomal seg-ment bet-ween nos sister chromatids) occurs whi-ch does not occur in mitosis.

Also meiosis is reduct-ional division , the chromo-somal number during meiosis is reduc-ed to half while no such reduct-ion in chromo-somal number occurs during mitosis.

Hence answer is 'Homologous chromo-somes cross over'

Synapsis or synd-esis is the length-wise pairing of homologous chromo-somes. Synapsis mainly occurs during pro-phase I of meiosis I.

A protein complex call-ed the synapton-emal complex con-nects the homol-ogues. The chrom-atids inter-twine, breaking apart and exc-hanging pieces with one other in a pro-cess call-ed crossing-over.
