Cell division is tightly regulated, which of the following is true regarding mitosis or meiosis.
I. Mitosis shows no homologous pairing.
II. There is no S phase between meiosis I and II.
III. Meiosis centromeres do not divide at anaphase I.

A
I, II and III
💡 Explanation:
Homologous pairing occurs in meiosis when homologous chromosomes come closer and synapsis occur leading to homologous pairing.
S phase occurs between G1 and G2 phase not between meiosis1 and meiosis2.
At anaphase I, sister chromatids remain attached to their centromeres, so they do not divide at this stage.
So the correct option is 'I, II and III'
