How mitosis and meiosis similar?

• both have two cell divisions

• both require DNA replication

• both produce gametes

• both involve crossing over

During which phase of the cell cycle does most cell growth occur?

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• prophase

• mitosis

Which process can occur in both mitosis and meiosis?

• fertilization

• independent assortment

• gene mutation

• crossing over

Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

• It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have triple chromosome number of the organism.

• It allows gametes to have twice the original number of chromosomes of the organism

• It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

• It allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.
