Mitosis/Meiosis Review

Does the picture on the right show mitosis or meiosis?

• Mitosis; the chromosomes are lined up in the middle
• Mitosis; chromosomes are in pairs
• Meiosis; chromosomes are in pairs
• Meiosis; there are only 4 chromosomes

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have ...

• 16 chromosomes.
• 46 chromosomes.
• 8 chromosomes.
• 4 chromosomes.

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
