The cells produced via meiosis are called:

• sex cells
• somatic cells
• body cells
• skin cells

What is it called when a sperm and egg meet?

• meiosis
• fertilization
• cell division
• mitosis

What causes genetic variation in meiosis?

• chromosomes lining up
• crossing over of chromosomes
• separation of chromosomes
• chromosomes pulling apart

When an area of a chromatid is exchanged with the matching area on a chromatid of its homologous chromosome, _________________ occurs

• crossing over
• mutagenesis
• hybridization
• fertilization

What kind of cells are made in MEIOSIS?

• Haploid Gametes
• Diploid Somatic Cells
• Skin Cells
• Liver Cells

If the Diploid number of Carrots is 18, the haploid number is

• 18
• 9
• 27
• 36
