A student using a compound light microscope is observing cells undergoing mitosis. If the cells are from a bean plant, which process could the student observe?

The pairing of homologous chromosomes.

The replication of centrioles

A pinching in of the cell membrane to form two cells.

The formation of a new plate between two new cells

The diagrams below show several events that occur during the process of mitosis. Which sequence represents the correct order of these events?

A→ E → B → C → D

B → D → E → A → C

C → A → B → D → E

A → E → D → B → C

The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine, what would you expect the result to be?

The chromosomes are halved during cell division and the result is a cell that has half the number of chromosomes than it would normally have.

The homologous chromosomes do not pull apart during cell division and the result is a cell that has double the number of chromosomes than it would normally have.

The chromosomes are separated during prophase and each of the four daughter cells receives a haploid number of chromosomes.

The chromosomes do not pull apart in an orderly fashion during cell division and the result is two cells with unequal numbers of chromosomes.

Which of the following best explains how meiosis is a contributing factor to genetic variation within a species?

Meiosis increases the number of chromosomes in daughter cells leading to new gene combinations

Meiosis allows for crossing over of chromosomes and independent assortment, resulting in new gene combinations

Meiosis reduces the number of mutations within an organism

Meiosis allows for crossing over of chromosomes and independent assortment, resulting in identical genes

Which of the following statements is true about meiosis in humans?

The process begins in males and females at the same time

Females produce far more gametes than males do

Sperm and ova (egg) are not identical to the parent cells that produced them
