Meiosis

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

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

What is it called when a sperm and egg meet?

• meiosis
• fertilization
• cell division
• mitosis

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

When an area of a chromatid is exchanged with the matching area on a chromatid of its homologous chromosome, _________________ occurs

• crossing over
• mutagenesis
• hybridization
• fertilization

What kind of cells are made in MEIOSIS?

• Haploid Gametes

• genes

When homologous chromosomes match up, they form a structure call a ___________.
