Mitosis

Cells formed by meiosis are:

• made for growth and repair

• reproductive cells

• always diploid

• body cells

Meiosis is the process by which:

• chromosome number is reduced by half

• the chromosome number is doubled

• the chromosome number of the daughter cell is identical to the mother cell

• there is an unequal division of chromosomes

In multicellular organisms, mitosis results in:

• reproduction

• growth and repair

• sperm and eggs

• fertilization

If an organism produced an egg that had 20 chromosomes, the body cells of that organism should have:

• 10

• 20

• 40

• 80

If an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of his body cells, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in his sperm cells?

• 5

• 8

• 10

• 3

During which stage of meiosis do tetrads form?

• metaphase 1

• prophase 1

• prophase 2

• interphase

In what stage of mitosis are the pairs of sister chromatids lined up in the center of the cells?

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

In what stage do the chromosomes become uncoiled, separated and visible and are joined in the center by a centromere?

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

In what stage is the cell not actively dividing, but carrying on normal cell activities?

• interphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

When are the chromosomes pulled to opposite sides of the cell?

• interphase

• anaphase

• telophase

• prophase
