Unit 3: Meiosis

Question 1

Phase where the tetrads split

Answer 1

Anaphase I

Question 2

Type of meiosis that forms the eggs

Answer 2

oogenesis

(remember only one cell becomes an egg; the remaining three dissolve)

Question 3

Type of meiosis that is just like mitosis

Answer 3

meiosis II

Question 4

Type of meiosis that is also known as the reduction division

Answer 4

meiosis I

(DNA has been reduced in half during Cytokinesis I)

Question 5

Designation of the parent cell in meiosis that has two of every DNA molecule

Answer 5

Diploid

Question 6

Phase of meiosis where the homologous pairs form?

Answer 6

Prophase I

Question 7

Type of meiosis that forms sperm

Answer 7

spermatogenesis

Question 8

Designation of the daughter cells since they only have one set of DNA

Answer 8

haploid

Question 9

What a tetrad is referring to

Answer 9

4 sister chromatids

Question 10

Phase where the tetrads like up along the equatorial plate

Answer 10

Metaphase I

Question 11

Phase of meiosis where the cells become haploid

Answer 11

Cytokinesis I

Question 12

Cells that result from cytokinesis II

Answer 12

• Haploid cells
• Gametes

Question 13

DNA goes back from chromosome to chromatin

Answer 13

Telophase II

Question 14

Number of cells that result from entire meiotic process

Answer 14

4

Question 15

The pairing of like chromsomes

Answer 15

• Homologous pairs
• Synapsis
• Tetrad

Question 16

of divisions that occur during meiosis

Answer 16

2

Meiosis I and II

Question 17

Chromosomes that contain the same type of genes

Answer 17

homologous chromosomes

Question 18

Phase after Cytokinesis I

Answer 18

Prophase II

(No interphase between Meiosis I and Meiosis II)

Question 19

Type of cell that is synthesized during meiosis?

Answer 19

Gamete

Question 20

Location within a multicelled organism where meiosis occurs.

Answer 20

Gonads

Question 21

Phase of meiosis where the centromeres split

Answer 21

Anaphase II

Question 22

Phase where the chromosomes line up along the equator in a single file line

Answer 22

Metaphase II

Question 23

Telophase where the DNA remains in chromosome form

Answer 23

Telophase I
