• anaphase
• prophase
• telophase

Before a cell can divide, what must happen?

• Nothing, it is always ready to divide
• The number of chromosomes must be cut in half
• The number of chromosomes must double
• The number of chromosomes must triple.

In meiosis, the haploid number of chromosomes in a human sex cell is:

• 46
• 92
• 22
• 23

What is the diploid number of cells found in a human body cell?

• 23
• 46
• 92
• 47

After meiosis is complete how many cells will there be?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Another name for a sex cell is a:
