If a somatic cell of a Giant Panda Bear has 42 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will its gametes have after the completion of meiosis II?

• 21

• 42

• 84

• 168

Organize these options into the right categories.

Groups:

(a) Mitosis

,

(b) Meiosis

• Daughter cells are genetically unique

• 1 cell division

• Produces 2 daughter cells

• 2 cell divisions

• Daughter cells are identical

• Produces 4 daughter cells

Which of the following is NOT true about what you see in the diagram?

• Sister chromatids exchange segments of their DNA during mitosis.

• This process increases genetic variation because it creates unique combinations of alleles.

• This process happens during Prophase I of Meiosis I.

• Homologous chromosomes inherited from biological parents have crossed over.

Match the following.
