NGSS Mitosis Meiosis Quiz

What are the stages of mitosis?

• Startphase, Middlephase, Endphase, Finalphase

• Prephase, Postphase, Midphase, Finalphase

• Earlyphase, Latephase, Middlephase, Lastphase

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Explain the process of prophase in mitosis.

• Nuclear envelope becomes thicker

• Chromatin disperses into the cytoplasm

• Spindle fibers disintegrate

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

What are the stages of meiosis?

• Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II

• Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Cytokinesis

• Interphase, Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II

• Prophase I, Metaphase II, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, Anaphase II, Telophase II

Describe the difference between anaphase in mitosis and anaphase I in meiosis.

• Anaphase in mitosis and anaphase I in meiosis both involve the separation of homologous chromosomes.

• Anaphase in mitosis involves the separation of centromeres, while anaphase I in meiosis involves the separation of spindle fibers.

• Anaphase in mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids, while anaphase I in meiosis involves the separation of homologous chromosomes.

• Anaphase in mitosis involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, while anaphase I in meiosis involves the separation of sister chromatids.

What are the main differences between mitosis and meiosis?

• Genetic variation and number of daughter cells produced

• Type of genetic material and presence of spindle fibers

• Location of the process and time taken for completion

• Color of the cells and size of the daughter cells

Explain the significance of crossing over in meiosis.

• Crossing over prevents genetic diversity by creating identical copies of alleles on chromosomes.

• Crossing over increases genetic diversity by creating new combinations of alleles on chromosomes.

• Crossing over decreases genetic diversity by removing alleles from chromosomes.

• Crossing over has no significance in meiosis and does not affect genetic diversity.

How does cell division occur in sexual reproduction?

• Budding

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Binary fission

Discuss the role of gametes in sexual reproduction.

• Gametes are specialized sex cells (sperm and egg) that are involved in sexual reproduction.

• Gametes are not necessary for sexual reproduction

• Gametes are involved in asexual reproduction

• Gametes are only found in plants

How does cell division occur in asexual reproduction?

• Through mitosis

• Through respiration

• Through meiosis

• Through photosynthesis

Explain the process of binary fission in asexual reproduction.

• A single organism divides into two separate organisms through replication of genetic material and division of the cell.

• During binary fission, the organism undergoes a process of meiosis to produce offspring with genetic variation.

• Binary fission involves the merging of genetic material from two different organisms to form a new organism.

• A single organism divides into three separate organisms through replication of genetic material and division of the cell.
