1. DNA replication does not occur after Meiosis I. Why is it important that the nucleus does NOT make more DNA before the cells divide again?
It results in increased genetic diversity for the species.
It results in uneven division of the cytoplasm.
It results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.
It results in daughter cells with the haploid number of chromosomes

6. How are mitosis & meiosis different from each other?
Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo a single division to half their chromosome number, after which they undergo crossing over to restore their diploid state.
Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo multiple divisions to produce several daughter cells that are identical to the parent cells.
Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo pairing of homologous chromosomes, allowing centromeres to remain intact during both cellular divisions.
Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo two divisions to produce haploid cells, allowing for genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms.
