- Q6This diagram shows a cellular process that occurs in organisms. What is the process known as?MeiosisPhagocytosisEndocytosisMitosis30s
- Q7What process is necessary for the inherited traits of an organism to be passed along by sexual reproduction?MutationMutationMeiosisMitosis30s
- Q8Which of the following cell types is formed by meiosis?Muscle cellsBlood cellsSkin cellsSperm cells30s
- Q9Which of the following statements correctly describes meiosis?Cells divide only once during meiosisMeiosis does not occur in reproductive cellsThe cells production at the end of meiosis are genetically identical to the parent cell.The cells produced at the end of meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell30s
- Q10This diagram shows homologous chromosomes going through what process during meiosis?Segregation of sister chromatidsCondensation and segregation of allelesMutation in which the DNA content of the gene is alteredCrossing-over in which alleles are exchanged30s
- Q11Body cells of fruit flies contain only 8 chromosomes, compared to human cells that contain 46. Scientists used studies of fruit flies to discover how egg and sperm cells (gametes) are formed. What did they observe?Egg cells from the female had 4 chromosomesSperm cells from the male had 8 chromosomesBody cells of the offspring flies had 16 chromosomesBody cells of the offspring flies had 4 chromosomes30s
- Q12In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell go through its regular function and have a visible nucleus?ProphaseCytokinesisAnaphaseInterphase30s
- Q13In which phase of meiosis does DNA inside the cell condense and make visible chromosomes and the nucleus begins to disappear?Anaphase 1Prophase 1Telophase 1Metaphase 230s
- Q14In which phase of meiosis do the chromosomes line up along the center (equator) of the cell?Telophase 2Anaphase 1Metaphase 1Interphase 130s
- Q15In which phase of meiosis do chromosomes split apart to become sister chromatids?Telophase 1Prophase 1Metaphase 1Anaphase 130s
