Meiosis Mix
Meiosis is similar to but different than this other process of cell division.
What is Mitosis
What process in the human life cycle results in the production of gametes? A. zygote B. mitosis C. fertilization D. meiosis
What is D, meiosis?
During meiosis the resulting gametes have _______ the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. (Same or Half?)
What is half?
The term for how many chromosomes a parent (starting) cell has.
What is Diploid Cell
Mitosis and meiosis have this in common: A. both are only done in animal cells. B. all organisms do both mitosis and meiosis. C. they both do interphase at the beginning
What is C, they both do interphase at the beginning
