After meiosis II, which of the following is true about the cells that are produced?

• Four cells are produced. They are identical to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Two cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

True or False: Crossing-over also happens in Meiosis II.

• True

• False

What effect does crossing over has in terms of traits of offspring?

• Results in identical traits of offsprings.

• Causes variation in the traits of offsprings.

• It really does nothing to the traits of offspring.

After meiosis I, which of the following is true about the cells that are produced?

• Two cells are produced. They are identical to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Two cells are produced. They are unique to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Four cells are produced. They are unique to each other and contain the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

• Only one cell is produced. It is identical to the parent cell and contains the same number of chromosomes.

The four cells that are produced after Meiosis are _______.

• haploid because they contain just half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• diploid because they contain as many chromosomes as the parent cell.

• diploid because they contain twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
