Mitosis vs. Meiosis

One way mitosis and meiosis are similar are...

• Both are types of cell division

• Both make haploid cells

• both make diploid cells

• Both create identical cells

Another way that mitosis and meiosis are similar is...

• Both are used in asexual reproduction

• Both produce genetically different cells

• Both are involved in cell division

• Both produce offspring 100% identical to the parent

Mitosis produces cells cells that have ______ number of chromosomes

• 0

• haploid

• diploid

• triploidy

Meiosis is used in what type of reproduction?

• Mitosis

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Differentiation

Two examples of gametes (sex cells) include...

• liver and egg cells

• sperm and heart cells

• heart and liver cells

• egg and sperm cells

If a tiger's body cells have 50 chromosomes, their sperm and egg cells will have __ chromosomes

• 50

• 100

• 25

• 75

Meiosis produces cells that are...

• Body cells

• Genetically identical to one another

• Genetically different to each other

• Clones of one another

The transfer of genes from parents to their offspring is known as

• Differentiation

• Heredity

• Immunity

• Evolution

The transfer of genes from parents to their offspring is known as

• it involves two parents

• it requires the combination of sperm and egg

• it results in variation in the offspring

• it involves the production of genetic copies

Asexual reproduction differs from sexual reproduction in that, in asexual reproduction

• new organisms are usually genetically identical to the parent

• the reproductive cycle involves the production of games

• nuclei of sex cells fuse to form a zygote

• offspring show much genetic variation
