What happens during prophase in mitosis?

• Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

• The cell divides into two daughter cells.

• The chromosomes align in the center of the cell.

• The nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes.

What is the purpose of cytokinesis in cell division?

• To condense the chromosomes.

• To form the spindle fibers.

• To divide the cytoplasm and separate the two daughter cells.

• To replicate the DNA in the cell.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis and meiosis produce the same number of daughter cells.

• Mitosis and meiosis produce daughter cells with identical genetic information.

• Mitosis and meiosis occur in the same phase of the cell cycle.

• The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is the number of daughter cells produced and the genetic variation in the daughter cells.

What is crossing over and when does it occur?

• Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during mitosis.

• Exchange of genetic material between sister chromatids during meiosis.

• Exchange of genetic material between non-homologous chromosomes during mitosis.

• Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis

What is the significance of independent assortment in meiosis?

• Independent assortment in meiosis increases genetic diversity.

• Independent assortment in meiosis decreases genetic diversity.

• Independent assortment in meiosis has no effect on genetic diversity.

• Independent assortment in meiosis only occurs in plants.
