Meiosis
Which of the following cells undergo meiosis?
brain cells
liver cells
unicellular organisms
sperm cells
Meiosis results in
2 diploid daughter cells
2 haploid daughter cells
4 diploid daughter cells
4 haploid daughter cells
Crossing-over occurs during:
prophase 1
prophase 2
metaphase 1
anaphase 1
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces:
gametes
.... is cell division in which the diploid number is reduced by one half (haploid) for the formation of gametes.
What is one difference in mitosis and meiosis during anaphase I?
the chromosomes line up at the equator in anaphase I.
centromeres do not exist in anaphase I.
crossing-over occurs only in anaphase of mitosis
chromatids do not separate at the centromere in anaphase I.
chromatids do not separate at the centromere in anaphase I.
Genetic diversity is the raw material for .....
Which of the following does not provide new genetic combinations?
crossing -over
random fertilization
independent assortment
cytokinesis

Which of the following are true regarding the process of meiosis I?
Most homologue pairs do not have any crossovers during prophase I.
Chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid.
Sister chromatids in a cell undergoing meiosis are always identical.
Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell.
Chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid.
The process of the chromosomes overlapping and switching genetic information is known as?
crossing over
