Mitosis/Meiosis

What causes genetic variation in meiosis?

• chromosomes lining up

• separation of chromosomes

• crossing over of chromosomes

• chromosomes pulling apart

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

• 20

• 40

• 80

• 160

A key difference between daughter cells resulting from mitosis and meiosis is that

• After meiosis, cells are diploid. After mitosis, cells are haploid.

• After meiosis, there are 4 daughter cells. After mitosis, there is 1 daughter cell.

• After meiosis, cells are haploid. After mitosis, cells are diploid.

• After meiosis, there are 2 daughter cells. After mitosis, there are 4 daughter cells.

Where do spindle fibers attach?

• nuclear membrane

• centromere

• cell membrane

• chromatin

• Cytokinesis

Which of the following lists the phases of mitosis in the correct order?

• interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
