Mitosis or Meiosis?
Which of the two contains the process of "Crossing Over"?
Meiosis
You get 23 pairs of chromosomes from each of your parents during Meiosis.
False
You have 46 chromosomes total (23 pairs), with 23 singular chromosomes from each parent.
There are ___ stages of Meiosis
Nine
How many cells do you have at the end of Meiosis?
A. 2 B. 4 C. 6
B. 4
The process of Meiosis ends with four daughter cells each containing a genetic variety, why is that?
During the process of crossing over, the chromosomes spilt and mix themselves up creating unique gene patterns. As the cells continue to divide through the rest of Meiosis, each one will develop its own traits, resulting in a genetic variety between cells.
In which process does a cell end up as two daughter cells?
Mitosis
the process of Mitosis ends with four cells.
False
Meiosis ends with four granddaughter cells while Mitosis ends with two daughter cells.
Mitosis is a process of cellular division that makes new body cells for Repair, Growth, and ______________
Replacement
What can be potentially changed if mistakes are made during Mitosis?
A. DNA B. Chromosomes C. Alleles
A. DNA
Which process starts with DNA replication?
Both!
Mitosis has the same amount of chromosomes at the beginning and end.
True
Meiosis will end with more chromosomes than the beginning, Mitosis will stay the same.
Meiosis is a ____ stage process
Two
What is the final result of Meiosis?
A. Gametes B. Cells C. 23 pairs of Chromosomes
A. Gametes
