What is the haploid number of chromosomes in humans?

• 2n

• 46

• 23

• 78

What is the process that occurs in gametes in which the number of chromosomes is cut in half?

• Crossing over

• Mitosis

• Binary fission

• Meiosis

What is the result of meiosis?

• Three diploid cells

• Two diploid cells

• Four haploid cells

• One haploid cell

What is the purpose of crossing over during meiosis?

• To decrease genetic variation

• To prevent cell division

• To increase genetic variation

• To create identical gametes

How many divisions occur in meiosis?

• One

• Three

• Four

• Two

What happens during telophase I and cytokinesis I in meiosis?

• Homologous chromosome pairs separate

• Homologous pairs line up at the cell's equator

• Sister chromatids line up at the cell's equator

• Nuclear membrane partially reforms; cell divides into two cells
