Categorize the following into mitosis or meiosis

  • Makes sex cells/gametes
  • Produces haploid cells
  • In a human it only in the ovaries or testes
  • Has two rounds of cell division
  • Produces 4 cells
  • Produces two new cells
  • 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
  • Produces cells that can be used in sexual reproduction
  • Produces cells with half of the genetic material in them
  • Produces diploid cells
  • Mitosis
  • Meiosis

Which of the following is separated in meiosis 1

1

Which of the following is separated in meiosis 2

1

Sort the following into each step of meiosis 1.

  • Cell divides into 2
  • Spindle fibers that aren't connected to chromosomes start to stretch the cell
  • 2 new nuclei may form
  • Spindle fibers pull apart the homologous pairs (separating the tetrads)
  • The nuclear envelope breaks down
  • DNA coils and chromosomes form
  • Centrioles produce spindle fibers
  • Tetrads form
  • Crossing over occurs
  • Spindle fibers break down
  • Spindle fibers move tetrads to the midline of the cell
  • Prophase 1
  • Metaphase 1
  • Anaphase 1
  • Telophase 1/Cytokinesis

Categorize the following into the steps of meiosis 2

  • Spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids
  • Nuclear envelope breaks down (if two new nuclei were formed in the previous step)
  • Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the midline of the cell (not in pairs)
  • DNA coils and chromosomes form (if the DNA uncoiled in the previous step)
  • Spindle fibers break down
  • 4 new nuclei form
  • The cell divides into 4 new haploid cells
  • Spindle fibers stretch out the cell
  • The DNA uncoils
  • The number of chromosomes doubles in the cell
  • Spindle fibers continue to be formed
  • Prophase 2
  • Metaphase 2
  • Anaphase 2
  • Telophase 2/Cytokinesis

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

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
