Which of the following is the best definition for MEIOSIS?
the process of two haploid cells uniting
the counting of chromosomes within a diploid cell
a two-step process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half such that there is only one copy of all the chromosomes
the equational division of a cell into two identical copies
What is unique to Prophase I- is that the duplicated chromosomes pair up to form _______.
a centrosome
a tetrad
the mitotic spindle
sister chromatids
In which stage of MEIOSIS does crossing over occur? (The exchange of genetic material between chromosomes in a tetrad.)
Anaphase I
Metaphase I
Prophase I
Telophase I
In Metaphase I, tetrads line up along the _______.
mitotic spindle
centrosomes
equatorial plane
contractile ring
Check all of the following that DO occur during Telophase I and cytokinesis.
The separated homologous chromosomes are at opposite poles of the cell.
The cell divides in two.
The chromosomes do not uncoil, since they are getting ready for Meiosis II.
Sister chromatids are pulled away from each other.
At the start of Meiosis II, which of the following is NOT true?
There are two cells.
The cells are haploid.
The chromosomes are paired up as homologues.
DNA is present as two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
How many cells are formed at the end of Meiosis II?
2
3
4

Which of the following are CORRECT observations about the differences between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS? (Check all that apply.)
Mitosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
All cells go through INTERPHASE as part of the cell cycle, whether it goes to mitosis or meiosis next.
In both types of cell division, the chromosomes are only duplicated once.
Only in Mitosis, do you see chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.
The products of MEIOSIS have _______ number of chromosomes.
haploid
diploid
Which of the following does NOT happen during Telophase II?
the nuclei reform
each cell begins to split evenly in two
the chromosomes duplicate
the nuclei contain a haploid number of chromosomes
What does it mean for Stem Cells to be undifferentiated?
They are specific types of cells.
They don't have a specific job yet.
They don't matter.
Pluripotent means what...
Cells can give rise to similar types of cells.
Cells can give rise to any type of cell.
Cells cannot be changed.
Cancer is...
Uncontrolled cell growth
Normal cell growth
