Biology Quiz: Mitosis, Meiosis, and Types of Reproduction

What are the stages of mitosis?

• Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night

• Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Science

Explain the process of prophase in mitosis.

• The nuclear envelope reforms

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

• The cell divides into two daughter cells

• The chromosomes align in the center of the cell

Describe the stages of meiosis.

• Prophase A, Metaphase A, Anaphase A, Telophase A, Prophase B, Metaphase B, Anaphase B, Telophase B

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

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

What is the significance of crossing over in meiosis?

• Causes asexual reproduction

• No impact on genetic variation

• Genetic recombination and increased genetic diversity

• Decreased genetic diversity and mutation

Give an example of asexual reproduction.

• Fertilization in humans

• Binary fission in bacteria

• Budding in yeast

• Spore formation in fungi

How does sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction?

• No genetic variation in sexual reproduction

• Only one parent involved in sexual reproduction

• Genetic variation in asexual reproduction

• Genetic variation in sexual reproduction

What are the main differences between mitosis and meiosis?

• The main differences are the color of the daughter cells and the size of the chromosomes.

• The main differences between mitosis and meiosis are the number of daughter cells produced and the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells.

• The main differences are the location of the daughter cells and the shape of the chromosomes.

• The main differences are the type of cells involved and the function of the daughter cells.

Explain the process of cytokinesis in mitosis.

• The cell undergoes a process of fusion to form a single daughter cell

• The cytoplasm of the cell is divided to form two separate daughter cells.

• The nucleus of the cell is divided into two separate daughter cells

• The cell divides into four daughter cells

What is the role of gametes in sexual reproduction?

• Gametes are the reproductive cells involved in fertilization.

• Gametes are only involved in asexual reproduction.

• Gametes are responsible for producing energy for the offspring.

• Gametes are not necessary for sexual reproduction.
