Mitosis / Meiosis

Dante wants to match types of cells with how they are produced. Which choice correctly pairs a type of cell with how it is produced?

• Egg cell - meiosis in males 
• Sperm cell - mitosis in males 
• Body cell - mitosis in females 
• Body cell - meiosis in females 

If a sexually reproducing organism has 28 chromosomes in its body cells, how many chromosomes did it inherit from each parent?

• 7
• 14
• 16
• 28

DNA contains genes that provide instructions for inherited traits. What is the relationship between genes and chromosomes? 

• Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes
• Genes are made up of thousands of chromosomes
• Genes correspond to the phenotype, while chromosomes correspond to the genotype
• Chromosomes correspond to the phenotype, while genes correspond to the genotype

• 1
• 9
• 20
• x/y

Ryan notices that all his friends brothers and sisters are tall. What is the most likely explanation for this characteristic?

• They have tall parents 
• They have identical genes 
• They eat only healthy foods
• They live in the same environment 

Which statement correctly describes a type of cell division?

• Mitosis involves one cell division that produces four cells
• Meiosis involves one cell division that produces two cells 
• Mitosis involves two cell divisions that produce two cells 
• Meiosis involves two cell divisions that produce four cells

Which of these choices describes a segment of DNA that determines a specific trait in a person, such as attached earlobes 

• A gene
• A phenotype
• A chromosome
• A characteristic 

• A:Meiosis B:I C:II
• A:Meiosis B:II C:I
• A:Cell Division B:Mitosis C:Meiosis
• A: Cell Division B: Meiosis C:Mitosis

Which statement correctly describes a difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?

• Asexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, but sexual reproduction does not
• Asexual reproduction involves one parent, and sexual reproduction involves two parents 
• Asexual reproduction increases a species chances of surviving unfavorable conditions, but sexual reproduction does not 
• The offspring produced by asexual reproduction are not identical to each other, but those of sexual reproduction are identical to each other 

In what way are the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction alike?

• Both produce offspring
• Both require two parents 
• Both produce genetically identical offspring
• Both require fertilization
