What happens during synthesis?

• DNA is replicated in the nucleus resulting in two identical copies of DNA.

• Cells just function as they should.

• DNA is replicated in the cytoplasm resulting in two different copies of DNA.

• Cells are duplicated.

Which of the following are CORRECT observations about the differences between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS? (Check all that apply.)

• Mitosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell.

• Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• All cells go through INTERPHASE as part of the cell cycle, whether it goes to mitosis or meiosis next.

• In both types of cell division, the chromosomes are only duplicated once.

• Only in Mitosis, do you see chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.

A human usually has xx amount of chromosomes.

• 6
• 22
• 4

What causes genetic variation in meiosis?

• chromosomes lining up
• crossing over of chromosomes
• separation of chromosomes
• chromosomes pulling apart

Does mitosis or meiosis produce more genetic variation? 

• Mitosis

• Meiosis
