The result of meiosis is:

• two diploid cells
• two haploid cells
• four diploid cells
• four haploid cells

How many times in meiosis does the cell division (cytokinesis) take place?

• 2

• 4

• 3

• 1

A fruit fly has 4 chromosomes in each of its haploid cells. How many would be present in its diploid cells?

• 20

• 2

• 8

• 16

What is reason that meiosis is important?

• Each gamete requires double the number of chromosomes as a body cell.

• Each gamete requires half the number of chromosomes as a body cell.

• Each gamete requires triple the number of chromosomes as a body cell.

• Each gamete should have the same number of chromosomes as a body cell.

Due to meiosis, during fertilization the male and female sex cells will provide...

• Double their chromosomes each

• Half of their chromosomes each

• All of their chromosomes each

What would be the problem if mitosis and not meiosis produced sex cells?

• Each generation would have twice the number of chromosomes as the previous generation.

• Each generation would have the exact same DNA as the previous generation.

• There would only be half the number of reproductive cells

• All of these choices would be problems.
