Question 1

What is the main purpose of meiosis in organisms?

Accepted Answer

To produce gametes for sexual reproduction

Answer

To generate identical somatic cells

Answer

To create energy for the cell

Answer

To repair damaged tissues

Question 2

Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Accepted Answer

Anaphase

Answer

Metaphase

Answer

Prophase

Answer

Telophase

Question 3

What is one key difference between meiosis and mitosis?

Accepted Answer

Meiosis results in four non-identical cells, while mitosis results in two identical cells

Answer

Meiosis occurs only in somatic cells

Answer

Mitosis involves two rounds of cell division

Answer

Both processes produce identical cells
