During Meiosis I, ____________ split to form haploid cells. During Meiosis II, ________________ split to produce 4 genetically different cells
Other Answer Choices:
centromeres
tetrads
Question 4

Question 5
5.
During Meiosis I, __________________ occurs during Prophase I, increasing the genetic variation in the cells. During Metaphase I, the tetrads line up randomly along the middle of the cell, called _____________________ . Together, these two processes increase the genetic ______________ of the final 4 daughter cells.
Other Answer Choices:
random alignment
variation
Crossing over

Examine the image above carefully. At the end of meiosis one, the daughter cells are
diploid
triploid
haploid
Meiosis is cell division, so is mitosis. Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the two processes?
mitosis makes haploid cells
mitosis makes 4 genetically different cells
meiosis makes 4 genetically different cells
meiosis makes diploid cells
At the end of mitosis, the daughter cells can become different types of body cell. At the end of Meiosis, however, the daughter cells become
gametes
new individuals
skin cells
