Cell division, asexual reproduction in meiosis part two

Question 1

A process in which one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid sex cells

Answer 1

Meiosis

Question 2

How many interphases happen in the whole process of meiosis?

Answer 2

There is only one interphase in meiosis

Question 3

How many daughter cells are produced in meiosis?

Answer 3

Four daughter cells are produced, and they are not identical to the parent or to each other

Question 4

How do the daughter cells in meiosis compare to each other and the parent cell?

Answer 4

The parent cell is diploid, and the daughter cells are haploid

Question 5

Are reproductive cells, haploid, or diploid cells?

Answer 5

Haploid

Question 6

How many chromosomes are in a human sperm and egg cell?

Answer 6

A human egg contains 23 chromosomes in a human sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes

Question 7

How many chromosomes are in a zygote once fertilization takes place?

Answer 7

A zygote has 46 chromosomes

Question 8

What kind of cells undergo mitosis?

Answer 8

Body cells or somatic cells

Question 9

What kind of cells undergo meiosis?

Answer 9

Reproductive cells (sperm and egg)

Question 10

How are haploid and diploid cells different?

Answer 10

Haploid have half the number of chromosomes of diploid cells

Question 11

Explain crossing over and during what phase of meiosis does it happen?

Answer 11

Prophase 1 – chromosomal segments are exchanged between the two homologous chromosomes

Question 12

Why is meiosis important?

Answer 12

Produces four haploid cells that are not identical, ***increasing genetic variation

Question 13

How many nuclear divisions, and how many cells are produced in meiosis?

Answer 13

Two nuclear divisions, and four haploid cells are produced

Question 14

Pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits are arranged in the same order

Answer 14

Homologous chromosome

Question 15

In what phase of meiosis are homologous, chromosomes separated?

Answer 15

Anaphase II of meiosis

Question 16

If 25 cells undergo meiosis, how many daughter cells will be produced?

Answer 16

100

Question 17

Is the parent cell haploid or diploid at the start of meiosis?

Answer 17

Diploid

Question 18

Are the daughter cells produced by meiosis, haploid, or diploid at the end of meiosis?

Answer 18

Haploid

Question 19

A process in which an egg and sperm cell join

Answer 19

Fertilization

Question 20

A new cell that forms from fertilization

Answer 20

Zygote

Question 21

Type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing offspring

Answer 21

Sexual reproduction

Question 22

List five facts of meiosis

Answer 22

1. sexual reproduction involves meiosis
2. meiosis produces gametes 3. meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes
3. one cell becomes for non-identical cells
4. Two nuclear divisions

Question 23

One nuclear division, two identical daughter cells, a form of asexual reproduction

Answer 23

Mitosis

Question 24

Two nuclear divisions, for non-identical daughter cells, used for sexual reproduction

Answer 24

Meiosis

Question 25

List three differences in mitosis and meiosis
