NC EOC Review: Meiosis & Chromosome Disorders

Meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction, meaning that it involves the union of:

• Gametes

• Sister chromatids

• Cell cycles

• Organisms

How many daughter cells are produced in meiosis?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

The daughter cells that are produced through meiosis are:

• Body cells

• Gametes

• Sex cells

• Eggs or Sperm

In terms of chromosome number, gametes produced through meiosis are said to be:

• Haploid

• Diploid

• Binary

• Deficient

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Haploid cells contain:

• 1 set of chromosomes

• 2 sets of chromosomes

• 3 sets of chromosomes

• 4 sets of chromosomes

Like mitosis, meiosis must also:

• Replicate its DNA prior to division

• Produce identical cells

• Create body cells

• Do crossing over during metaphase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Unlike mitosis, meiosis:

• creates non-identical cells

• produces haploid cells

• goes through PMAT 2 times

• is asexual reproduction

• creates identical, diploid cells

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Meiosis goes through PMAT 2 times. During Metaphase 1, what process occurs that results in variable daughter cells?

• Nondisjunction

• Crossing Over

• Random Assortment

• Independent Assortment

In males, meiosis results in:

• 1 sperm cell

• 2 sperm cells

• 3 sperm cells

• 4 sperm cells
