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

Produces diploid cells

Has two rounds of cell division

Produces cells with half of the genetic material in them

Produces cells that can be used in sexual reproduction

Makes sex cells/gametes

In a human it only in the ovaries or testes

Produces 4 cells

Is intended to repair tissue or grow the organism

Produces haploid cells

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

Mitosis

Meiosis

Prophase 1

Metaphase 1

Sort the following into each step of meiosis 1.

Crossing over occurs

Spindle fibers break down

The nuclear envelope breaks down

Spindle fibers move tetrads to the midline of the cell

Cell divides into 2

2 new nuclei may form

DNA coils and chromosomes form

Tetrads form

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

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

Centrioles produce spindle fibers

Prophase 1

Metaphase 1

Anaphase 1

Telophase 1/Cytokinesis

Categorize the following into the steps of meiosis 2

4 new nuclei form

Spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids

Spindle fibers break down

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

The DNA uncoils

The cell divides into 4 new haploid cells

The number of chromosomes doubles in the cell

Spindle fibers continue to be formed

Spindle fibers stretch out the cell

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)
