3.11 Homework: Meiosis and Mitosis
QUESTION 1
What is one result of meiosis?
a larger organism
identical daughter cells
repair of damaged cells
formation of gametes
2
Which phase of cell division is shown?
Cell is shown with chromosomes being pull apart from the center and migrating towards spindles by spindle fibers.
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
QUESTION 3
What is the best description of the chromosomes by the end of prophase of mitosis?
The chromosomes have stretched out.
The chromosomes have separated at the centromere.
The chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
The chromosomes have coiled and become more compact.
Which phase of cell division is shown?
Two separate cells are shown with spindle fibers in each radiating from the spindles. Each cell’s spindle fibers are attached to individual chromosomes and pulling them away from the center.
prophase I of meiosis
anaphase II
telophase I
telophase II
What is the best description of chromosomes by the end of metaphase II of meiosis?
The chromosomes in each of two diploid cells coil and become more compact.
The chromosomes in each of two diploid cells line up in the middle of the cell.
The chromosomes of two haploid cells split apart at the centromere.
The chromosomes of two haploid cells reach opposite sides of the cell and incorporate into two new nuclei.
