Meiosis and genetics

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

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

This produces 2 identical cells.

• mitosis
• meiosis

A human usually has xx amount of chromosomes.

• 6

• 23

• 4

• 46

• 92

Meiosis makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperm and egg cells each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized human egg cell (sperm and egg cell combined) would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

• 23, 46
• 46, 23
• 2, 4
• 50, 100

Goes through P.M.A.T two rounds 

• Mitosis
• Meiosis
• Osmosis
• Transcription

If the Diploid number of Carrots is 18, the haploid number is

• 18
• 9
• 27
• 36

If a somatic cell in a butterfly contains 24 chromosomes, a butterfly egg would contain

• 3
• 6
• 12
• 24

When homologous chromosomes match up, they form a structure call a ___________.

• tetrad
• triad
• diploid
• gamete

A male shark has 40 chromosomes in each of its sex cells. How many would be present in its body cells?

• 20
• 40
• 80
• 160

Chromosomes exchange genetic material during 

• crossing over
• replication
• synthesis
• translation
