Homologous chromosomes move towards opposite poles of a dividing cell during...

• mitosis

• meiosis I

• meiosis II

• fertilization

• binary fission

Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that...

• homologous chromosomes synapse

• DNA replicates before the division

• the daughter cells are diploid

• sister chromatids separate during anaphase

• the chromosome number is reduced

Metaphase of meiosis I and meiosis II differ in that...

• chromosomes line up at the equator

• homologues line up in meiosis I and duplicated chromosomes line up in meiosis II

• sister chromatids line up in meiosis I and chromosomes line up in meiosis II

• there are the same number of chromosomes

Asexually reproducing organisms produce offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parents. What type of cell division are the offspring a product of?

• mitosis

• meiosis

• binary fission

• fertilization

At which stage of meiosis do chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes?

• metaphase I

• anaphase I

• metaphase II

• anaphase II

• telophase II
