• 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 phase of Meiosis in which chromatids separate:

• Prophase II

• Metaphase II

• Telophase II

• Anaphase II

The phase of Meiosis in which 4 daughter cells are formed:

• Telophase I

• Prophase II

• Anaphase II

• Telophase II

Which of the following is the best definition for MEIOSIS?

• the process of two haploid cells uniting

• the counting of chromosomes within a diploid cell

• a two-step process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half such that there is only one copy of all the chromosomes

• the equational division of a cell into two identical copies

In which stage of MEIOSIS does crossing over occur? (The exchange of genetic material between chromosomes in a tetrad.)

• Anaphase I

• Metaphase I

• Prophase I

• Telophase I

How many cells are formed at the end of Meiosis II?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 8

True or False. In Meiosis II, there are TWO cells that go through each phase at the same time.

• true

• false

The products of MEIOSIS have _______ number of chromosomes.

• haploid

• diploid

After meiosis II, which of the following is true about the cells that are produced?

• Four cells are produced. They are identical to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Two cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.
