Ch. 12.4 Meiosis Quiz (Honors)

Match the following for mitosis and meiosis.

• Meiosis

• This refers to the type of daughter cells at the end of mitosis

• Haploid

• Makes 4 genetically unique cells

• Diploid

• This refers to the type of daughter cells at the end of meiosis

• Mitosis

• Makes 2 genetically identical cells

• Both

• Goes through interphase at the beginning
