Chapter 8 Mitosis/ Meiosis

A cat has a total of 38 chromosomes in its body cells.  How many in its gametes?

• 38
• 19
• 76
• 10

The stages of mitosis in order

• Metaphase, Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase
• Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase
• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
• Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Metaphase

In Meiosis if the parent cells has 40 chromosomes, then how many will the daughter cells have 

• 40
• 10
• 20
• 18

During which phase of the meiotic cell cycle does DNA Replication occur?

• Interphase 
• Prophase 
• Metaphase 
• Telophase

Name that process

• Mitosis
• Meiosis
• Mutation
• Cell Cycle

Why do we need meiosis?

• To double the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To halve the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To triple the number of chromosomes going into sex cells
• To not change the number of chromosomes going into sex cells

Most of the cells in the human body are produced by

• mitosis
• meiosis

Humans have how may chromosomes ?

• 112
• 46
• 8
• 67

The male sex cell is called

• egg
• zygote
• sperm
• mitosis

The female sex cell is called

• zygote
• sperm
• fertilization
• egg
