Draggable item		Corresponding Item

Question 8

8.

Identify the following cells as products of mitosis or meiosis. I am only giving you an image of one of the cells.

A product of mitosis
A product of meiosis

Question 9

9.

Categorize the following as a step in mitosis or a step in meiosis. I am only showing you one cell in each diagram.

FYI: the top and bottom chromosomes are intended to be the same size

A step in mitosis

Is intended to repair tissue or grow the organism

Produces identical cells (identical to each other and to the parent) as long as there are no mutations

Has two rounds of cell division

Produces two new cells

Makes sex cells/gametes

Produces cells with half of the genetic material in them

Produces diploid cells

Produces haploid cells

Produces 4 cells

Produces cells that can be used in sexual reproduction

Mitosis

Meiosis

Telophase 1/Cytokinesis

Prophase 2

Sort the following into each step of meiosis 1.

Centrioles produce spindle fibers

The nuclear envelope breaks down

Spindle fibers break down

Tetrads form

Spindle fibers pull apart the homologous pairs (separating the tetrads)

Spindle fibers that aren't connected to chromosomes start to stretch the cell

2 new nuclei may form

Spindle fibers move tetrads to the midline of the cell

Crossing over occurs

DNA coils and chromosomes form

Cell divides into 2

Prophase 1

Metaphase 1

Anaphase 1

Telophase 1/Cytokinesis

Categorize the following into the steps of meiosis 2

DNA coils and chromosomes form (if the DNA uncoiled in the previous step)

The DNA uncoils

Nuclear envelope breaks down (if two new nuclei were formed in the previous step)

4 new nuclei form

Spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids

Spindle fibers continue to be formed

Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the midline of the cell (not in pairs)

Spindle fibers stretch out the cell

Spindle fibers break down

The cell divides into 4 new haploid cells

The number of chromosomes doubles in the cell
