Haploid
How many daughter cells are created at the end of mitosis?
2
How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis?
4
In which phase does the nuclear envelope reform around new nuclei?
Telophase
Which process involves homologous chromosomes pairing up to form tetrads?
Meiosis
What process involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes?
Crossing over
Is the DNA in mitosis daughter cells identical or different from the parent cell?
Identical
