Meiosis

How does meiosis most benefit a species?

• It increases mutations
• It increases genetic variation
• It decreases the number of chromosomes an organism will receive
• It increases the number of chromosomes an organism will receive

If the diploid number of chromosomes of a dog is 92, how many chromosomes would be in each gamete at the end of meiosis?

• 39 chromosomes
• 46 chromosomes
• 78 chromosomes
• 184 chromosomes

What does the image below represent?

• Dihybrid cross

• Telophase I

• Mitosis

• Crossing over

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

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