Meiosis

The cell in the picture shows homologous chromosomes lined up 2 by 2 - which stage of Meiosis does it show?

• Prophase I
• Prophase II
• Metaphase II
• Metaphase I

The purpose of meiosis is

• cells for growth
• cells for repair
• cells for replacement
• cells for reproduction

The product of meiosis is

• 2 haploid cells
• 2 diploid cells
• 4 haploid cells
• 4 diploid cells

Homologous chromosomes

• are identical in every way

• have genetic material for the same traits

• are different sizes
• are only found in animal cells

The cell shown in the picture is showing the separation of homologous chromosomes - which phase is it?

• Telophase II
• Telophase I
• Anaphase II
• Anaphase I

Which phase in meiosis involves crossing over

• Telophase II
• Telophase I
• Prophase I
• Prophase II
