Which of the following are CORRECT observations about the differences between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS? (Check all that apply.)

• Mitosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell.

• Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• All cells go through INTERPHASE as part of the cell cycle, whether it goes to mitosis or meiosis next.

• In both types of cell division, the chromosomes are only duplicated once.

• Only in Mitosis, do you see chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.

Which of the following is the best definition for MEIOSIS?

• the process of two haploid cells uniting to form a new zygote

• the counting of chromosomes within a diploid cell verifying two copies of each chromosome

• a two-step process reducing the chromosome number to half of normal cells so that the chromosome number will be correct after fertilization

• the equational division of a cell into two identical copies

The products of MEIOSIS (sperm and egg in animals) have a(n) _______ number of chromosomes.

• haploid

• diploid
