Meiosis is used for just one purpose in the human body the production of what?
a. production of somatic (body cells)
b. production of germ cells --> gametes (reproductive) cells

What's the difference between the types of cells being created in meiosis and mitosis?
a. meiosis makes germ cells while mitosis makes
In meiosis, germ cells (eggs and sperm) are only being created whilst in mitosis all the body cells (somatic cells) except from the germs cells are being created.
How many haploid cells are created in mitosis?
a. 0
b. 1
c. 2
d. 3
0 haploid cells (they are only created in meiosis). Mitosis creates 2 diploid cells
This is the stage a body cell spends most of it's life cycle.
Interphase
What happens in the third stage of mitosis?
a. Telophase
b. Metaphase
c. Prophase
d. Anaphase
d. Anaphase. In this stage, the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart.
The division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells
Cytokinesis
How many phases are there in meiosis?
d. 8 phases: prophase I and II, metaphase I and II, anaphase I and II, telophase I and II
