24
Q

How does the sexual life cycle increase the genetic variation of a species?

26
Q

Independent assortment of chromosomes is a result of

28
Q

Natural selection and recombination dude crossing over during meiosis I are related and which of the following ways?

A

B) meiosis I.

32
Q

Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that

A

A) sister chromatids separate during anaphase.

33
Q

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of meiosis I would be

A

D) 2x.

34
Q

If we continue to follow the cell lineage for the previous question, then the DNA content of a single cell at metaphase of meiosis II would be

A

C) x.

A

D) 16
