For each of the following sentences, choose one of the options enclosed in square brackets to make a correct statement

Starting with a single diploid cell, mitosis produces [two/four] [identical/different] [haploid/diploid] cells, whereas meiosis yields [two/four] [identical/different] [haploid/diploid] cells. This is accomplished in meiosis because a single round of chromosome [replication/segregation] is followed by two sequential rounds of [replication/segregation]. Mitosis is more like meiosis [I/II] than meiosis [I/II]. In meiosis I, the kinetochores on sister chromatids behave [independently/coordinately] and thus attach to microtubules from the [same/opposite] spindle. The cohesin-mediated glue between [chromatids/homologs] is regulated differently near the centromeres than along the chromosome arms. Cohesion is lost first at the [centromeres/arms] to allow segregation of [chromatids/homologs] and is lost later at the [centromeres/arms] to trigger segregation of [chromatids/homologs].
