7.

After meiosis II, which of the following is true about the cells that are produced?

a)

Four cells are produced. They are identical to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

b)

Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

c)

Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

d)

Two cells are produced. Each is unique and contains the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

8.

True or False: Crossing-over also happens in Meiosis II.

a)

True

b)

False

9.

What effect does crossing over has in terms of traits of offspring?

a)

Results in identical traits of offsprings.

b)

Causes variation in the traits of offsprings.

c)

It really does nothing to the traits of offspring.

10.

After meiosis I, which of the following is true about the cells that are produced?

a)

Two cells are produced. They are identical to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

b)

Two cells are produced. They are unique to each other and each contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

c)

Four cells are produced. They are unique to each other and contain the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

d)

Only one cell is produced. It is identical to the parent cell and contains the same number of chromosomes.

11.

The four cells that are produced after Meiosis are _______.

a)

haploid because they contain just half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

b)

diploid because they contain as many chromosomes as the parent cell.

c)

diploid because they contain twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell.

12.

The end of mitosis results in  ____ to each other.

a)

2 cells that are identical

b)

4 cells that are identical

c)

2 cells that are not identical

d)

4 cells that are not identical

13.
Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?
a)
In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
b)
In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
c)
In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
d)
In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
14.

a)

segregation of sister chromatids

b)

condensation and segregation of alleles
