Meiosis & Mutations

The function of MEIOSIS is to:

• produce somatic cells

• replace worn out cells

• create gametes

• make new body cells

Another name for "sex cells" is:

• somatic cells

• prokaryotic cells

• gametes

• triploids

In humans, gametes contain ___ chromosomes.

• 13

• 23

• 46

• 72

What type of cell in the human body would be DIPLOID?

• egg cell

• gamete

• liver cell

All human body cells have TWO sets of chromosomes and are therefore called:

• haploid

• gametes

• diploid

• triploidy

The end result of MEIOSIS is:

• 2 identical daughter cells

• 2 different daughter cells

• 4 identical daughter cells

• 4 different daughter cells

• none

• one

• two

• four

All of the following types of cells are :

liver cells, heart cells, nerve cells, skin cells

• gametes

• sex cells

• somatic cells

• prokaryotic cells
