Answer

Binary fission

Question 6

In which process does DNA replication occur before division?

Accepted Answer

Both mitosis and meiosis

Answer

Only mitosis

Answer

Only meiosis

Answer

Neither process

Question 7

What happens during Anaphase of mitosis?

Accepted Answer

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles

Answer

Chromosomes are lined up in the middle

Answer

Nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes

Answer

Homologous chromosomes pair up

Question 8

What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis in terms of chromosome number?

Accepted Answer

Mitosis maintains the same chromosome number, while meiosis reduces it by half

Answer

Mitosis reduces the chromosome number, meiosis maintains it

Answer

Mitosis does not involve chromosomes

Answer

Both processes increase the chromosome number

Question 9

Which of the following is NOT a stage of meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Interphase

Answer

Metaphase I

Answer

Telophase I

Answer

Prophase II

Question 10

What is a major purpose of meiosis besides producing gametes?

Accepted Answer

To increase genetic variability

Answer

To repair damaged tissue

Answer

To produce identical cells

Answer

To ensure cell growth

Question 11

What is the main purpose of meiosis in living organisms?

Accepted Answer

To produce gametes for sexual reproduction

Answer

To create identical cells for growth

Answer

To repair damaged tissues

Answer

To produce energy for the cell

Question 12

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Accepted Answer

Metaphase

Answer

Anaphase

Answer

Telophase

Answer

Prophase

Question 13

What is one key difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Accepted Answer

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically varied gametes

Answer

Mitosis only occurs in plants, while meiosis occurs in animals

Answer

Both processes result in diploid cells

Answer

Meiosis is a process for growth, whereas mitosis is for reproduction

Question 14

What is the end result of meiosis in terms of chromosome number?

Accepted Answer

Haploid cells with half the chromosome number of the original cell

Answer

Tetraploid cells with double the chromosome number

Answer

Diploid cells with the same chromosome number as the original cell

Answer

Identical diploid cells

Question 15

In which phase of meiosis does crossing over occur?

Accepted Answer

Prophase I

Answer

Anaphase I

Answer

Telophase I

Answer

Metaphase II
