Meiosis 4 Q

In Prophase I, homologous chromosomes crossover and exchange

• spindle proteins

• genetic material

• diploid daughter cell

• mitochondria

Meiosis is needed in order to create cells with 

• half of the number of chromosomes

• identical genetic material

• double the number of chromosomes

• spindle formation

The four daughter cells made by meiosis are 

• haploid and genetically identical

• diploid and genetically identical

• haploid and genetically different

• diploid and genetically different

Siblings may have the same parents but look different due to several processes that happen during the formation of our gametes. Which of the following processes is responsible for the genetic diversity of the offsprings?

• Crossing over, which happens when homologous chrmosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis

• Anaphase of mitosis, where sister chromatids are pulled apart

• The synthesis phase which ensures all chromosomes are replicated

• Cytokinesis, which ensures that each individual daughter cell is separated from the other
