Front

What phase is shown here? Prophase II, Metaphase I, Metaphase II, Anaphase I.

Back

Metaphase I

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is the main purpose of meiosis?

Back

To produce gametes (sperm and eggs) for sexual reproduction.

Front

How many divisions occur in meiosis?

Back

Two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Front

What is crossing over and when does it occur?

Back

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during Prophase I of meiosis.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets (2n).
