Question 1

What is a key difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Meiosis results in four daughter cells, while mitosis results in two.

Answer

Meiosis occurs in somatic cells, while mitosis occurs in germ cells.

Answer

Both processes create identical daughter cells.

Answer

Mitosis occurs only in plant cells, while meiosis occurs in animal cells.

Question 2

Which of the following statements is true about meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Meiosis includes two rounds of division.

Answer

Meiosis occurs in somatic cells only.

Answer

Meiosis creates identical cells for tissue repair.

Answer

Meiosis happens in one round of division.

Question 3

What is one main purpose of meiosis in living organisms?

Accepted Answer

To produce gametes for sexual reproduction.

Answer

To generate energy for the cell.

Answer

To repair damaged tissues in the body.

Answer

To create new identical cells for growth.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of mitosis in an organism?

Accepted Answer

To enable growth and tissue repair.

Answer

To reduce chromosome number.

Answer

To create genetic diversity.

Answer

To produce gametes for sexual reproduction.

Question 5

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after meiosis compared to the original parent cell?

Accepted Answer

Half the number of chromosomes.

Answer

Three times the number of chromosomes.

Answer

The same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Answer

Twice the number of chromosomes.

Question 6

Which statement accurately describes the end products of mitosis and meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically diverse cells.

Answer

Mitosis produces four cells, and meiosis produces two identical cells.

Answer

Mitosis and meiosis both produce two identical cells.

Answer

Mitosis produces two cells, and meiosis produces three genetically identical cells.

Question 7

How does genetic variation occur during meiosis?

Question 13

Which statement is true about mitosis compared to meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Mitosis results in identical cells while meiosis results in genetically different cells.

Answer

Mitosis produces four cells, while meiosis produces two cells.

Answer

Mitosis involves crossing over, while meiosis does not.

Answer

Mitosis only occurs in prokaryotes, while meiosis occurs in eukaryotes.
