A tomato plant cell has 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after the cell undergoes a mitotic division?
6 chromosomes each
12 chromosomes each
24 chromosomes each
48 chromosomes each
The figure represents a type of cell division. Select each true statement. See figure M-3.
Cells 1 & 2 are identical to each other.
Homologous chromosomes pair in 1 & 2 which means this is Meiosis.
This is Mitosis.
A: Cells 1 & 2 have 8 chromosomes each. Each cell is haploid.
B: Cells 1 & 2 have 32 chromosomes each. Each cell is diploid.

Which of the following phases is the first step in mitosis? See Figure M-4.
metaphase
telophase
prophase
anaphase
Which phase of mitosis would be seen next? See image M-5.
In the division of a cell shown in Figure M-6, what is produced?
son cells
sperm cells
diploid cells
ovum cells
During meiosis, how many haploid daughter cells are produced?
2

23
46
The teacher tells her class that some cells undergo meiosis and form haploid cells. Which group of cells are formed by meiotic division?
sperm cells
muscle fiber cells
skin cells
erythrocytes (red blood cells)
The table in Figure M-7 lists the number of chromosomes in different cells of a pea plant undergoing cell division. Which cell is undergoing meiosis?
Cell 3
Cell 1
Cell 4
Cell 2
During Meiosis, what stage will occur next? See Figure M-8.
Prophase
Telophase I
Metaphase I
Anaphase I
The processes of meiosis and fertilization help ensure the survival of the species by providing each generation with the same number of
gametes
chromosomes
body cells
offspring
Gametes must be haploid because —
the gametes’ chromosomes will be replicated prior to cell division
two gametes will unite during fertilization to create a diploid cell
fertilization results with a haploid zygote
gametes are small and can hold only the haploid number of chromosomes
During which phase of meiosis does crossing over occur?
Prophase II
Telophase II
Prophase I
Metaphase I
What occurs in meiosis but NOT in mitosis?
chromosome replication
the joining of homologous chromosomes
production of daughter cells
alignment of chromosomes along the metaphasal plate (middle)
The process by which a cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells is called —
interphase
meiosis
cell division
mitosis
The process of mitosis ensures that each daughter cell has a copy of every chromosome present in the parent cell. What is the use of this process? Select each correct statement.
It helps in multiplication of DNA.
It helps replace old, worn out cells.
It ensures that the functioning of the new daughter cells is the same as the parent.
It creates reproductive cells.
Figure M-9 represents a type of cell division. Select each true statement.
In diagram A or B: Cells 2&3,5&6 are Haploid
In diagram A or B: Cells 2,3,4 & 5 are identical. This is mitosis.
Homologous Chromsomes pair in the parent cell. This is Meiosis.
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes can exchange DNA in a process known as — See Figure M-10.
crossing over
replication
cytokinesis
internal fertilization
