Biol 1406 Mitosis vs. Meiosis Quiz

A liver cell in a horse has 64 chromosomes. What is true about a muscle cell and an egg cell from this horse?

• Mitosis produces a haploid muscle with 64 chromsomes and meiosis a diploid egg cell with 32 chromsomes

• Mitosis produces a diploid muscle cell with 64 chromsomes and meiosis a haploid egg cell with 32 chromosomes

• Mitosis produces a haploid muscle cell with 32 chromsomes and mitosis a diploid egg cell with 64 chromosomes

• Mitosis produces a diploid muscle cell with 32 chromsomes and meiosis a haploid egg cell with 64 chromosomes

When does a cells DNA replicate?

• prophase

• anaphase

• interphase

• telophase

What is an advantage of sexual over asexual reproduction?

• Asexual reproduction provides greater genetic variation

• Sexual reproduction provides greater genetic variation

• Asexual reproduction provides identical offspring

• Sexual reproduction provides identical offspring

• the production of 2 haploid daughter cells

• the production of either a sperm or egg cell

Why is meiosis needed in animals?

• Because 2 diploid cells are required to make 1 haploid zygote

• Because 2 identical daughter cells are needed to repair tissues

• Because 2 haploid games are needed to produce a diploid zygote

• Because 2 diploid cells are needed for cross-pollination

Which best explains why DNA replication occurs within a cell?

• So the daughter cells will have half the required genetic information

• So the daughter cells will have three times the genetic information

• So the daughter cells will have an identical set of genetic information

• So the daughter cells will have different forms of the genetic information

Which statement describes a cell formed as a result of mitosis?

• A cell that is genetically different from the parent cell

• A cell that is a haploid zygote

• A cell that is a diploid gamete

• A cell that is identical to the parent cell

What is the function of the S phase in the cell cycle?

• Cell growth

• DNA synthesis

• chromosomes move away to opposite ends of the cell
