What is Meiosis?

Multiple Choice

The process of Meiosis starts with a _______ parent cell and ends with four _______ sex cells.

• diploid (2n); haploid (n)

• diploid (2n); diploid (2n)

• haploid (n); haploid (n)

• haploid (n) ; diploid (2n)

Multiple Choice

The process of meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes in a process called crossing-over. This process creates ______ in each gamete.

• no change

• genetic variation

• the same sequence

• exact copies of genetic material
