Which of the following is true about meiosis? Select all that apply
The resulting cells are all identical
It is used to make sex cells/gametes
It results in cells that only have one copy of each chromosome
It makes a maximum of 2 daughter cells
The daughter cells are haploid
What process is shown in the diagram?
Mitosis
Meiosis
What is the purpose of meiosis I?
To form 2 diploid cells
To separate sister chromatids
To form 4 haploid gametes
To separate homologous pairs of chromosomes
What is the benefit of crossing over?
it increases the genetic variation in a population
it reduces mutations
it insures that all the cells that are made are identical
it prevents cells from inheriting too many chromosomes
What is this process?

Crossing Over
Meiosis II
Oogenesis
What are the sex chromosomes in a female?
XY
XX
YY
What happens if chromosomes don't separate correctly during meiosis?
The chromosomes will cross over incorrectly
The wrong number of cells will be created
The cells that are created will have extra or missing chromosomes
