Meiosis

The phase in Meiosis where crossing over occurs:

• Metaphase I

• Prophase I

• Prophase II

• Profés

The phase in Meiosis in which 2 daughter cells are formed:

• Anaphase I

• Anaphase II

• Telophase I

• Metaphase II

The pair of chromosomes that contain the same genes (but may be coded differently) and are inherited from a male and female parent are termed ___.

• gametes
• alleles
• zygote
• homologs

Which of the following cells is a gamete?

• egg
• bone
• heart
• muscle

In mitosis cells are genetically _______, but in meiosis cells are genetically ______.

• diverse, identical
• identical, diverse/different

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

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

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

What kind of cells are made in MEIOSIS?

• Haploid Gametes
• Diploid Somatic Cells
• Skin Cells
• Liver Cells

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

• 3
• 6
• 12
• 24

Crossing over helps promote 

• male genotype
• genetic variation
• DNA replication
• mitosis
