Mitosis and Meiosis

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

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

Unlike mitosis, meiosis in male mammals results in the formation of

• one haploid gamete
• three diploid gametes
• four diploid gametes
• four haploid gametes

This image shows chromosomes during Prophase 1. Which of the following correctly describes the process shown?

• segregation of sister chromatids
• condensation and segregation of alleles
• mutationin which the DNA content of the gene is altered
• crossing - over in which alleles are exchanged

Why do we need meiosis?

• To double the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To halve the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To triple the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To not change the number of chromosomes going into sex cells

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
