PBS Meiosis practice

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

• sex cells
• somatic cells
• body cells
• skin cells

This produces 2 identical cells.

• mitosis
• meiosis

A human usually has xx amount of chromosomes.

• 6

• 23

• 4

• 46

• 92

What phase is  shown in the picture?

• anaphase 1
• anaphase 2
• metaphase 1
• telophase 1

Meiosis makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperm and egg cells each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized human egg cell (sperm and egg cell combined) would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

• 23, 46
• 46, 23
• 2, 4
• 50, 100

Goes through P.M.A.T two rounds 

• Mitosis
• Meiosis
• Osmosis
• Transcription

If the Diploid number of Carrots is 18, the haploid number is

• 18
• 9
• 27
• 36

If a somatic cell in a butterfly contains 24 chromosomes, a butterfly egg would contain

• 3
• 6
• 12
• 24

Which of the following is the best definition for MEIOSIS?

• the process of two haploid cells uniting

• the counting of chromosomes within a diploid cell

• a two-step process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half such that there is only one copy of all the chromosomes

• the equational division of a cell into two identical copies

True or False? Before cells undergo meiosis they pass through interphase first.

• true

• false
