3.

Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis. Which statement about crossing over is true?

a)

RNA translation occurs in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum

b)

Crossing over takes place in backterial cells

c)

Crossing over produces genetically identical daughter cells

Crossing over provides genetic diversity in eukaryotic cells

4.

Embryonic cells each have an identical copy of DNA. If the DNA in all cells is identical, how do the embryonic cells become specialized (ex: Muscle cell, brain cell, liver cell, etc)

a)

Each cell contains only the active parts of the DNA needed for the cell type

b)

Each cell type has only one chromosome containing the DNA needed for that cell type

c)

Each cell has an identical copy of DNA with enzymes controlling the expression of specific genes, leading to cell variety
