After fertilization, the resulting
zygote begins to divide by
A. Binary fission
B. Mitosis
C. Synapsis
D. Meiosis
Why is meiosis important for
sexual reproduction?
A. To decrease the genetic variation in the daughter cells.
B. To produce daughter cells that are identical to the parent.
C. To produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as
the parent.
D. To increase the risk of genetic disorders in the daughter cells.

formed from it have _______________ chromosomes.
A. 4

different from those of the parent cell.
B. The same number of chromosomes and has genes
identical to those of the parent cell
C. One-half the number of chromosomes but has genes
different from those of the parent cell

identical to the parent cell.

sperm or egg cell in a buffalo can be expected to
have
A. 20 chromosomes
B. 30 chromosomes
C. 60 chromosomes
D. 120 chromosomes
The process of meiosis
A. begins with diploid cells and ends with diploid cells
B. begins with haploid cells and ends with diploid cells
C. begins with diploid cells and ends with haploid cells
D. begins with haploid cells and ends with haploid cells

B. They have the same genetic information
C. They both have chloroplasts
D. One is haploid and one is diploid
A diploid cell contains two pairs of homologous
chromosomes. Each pair is heterozygous for a pair of
alleles, Aa and Bb respect. After meiosis, how many
different combinations of these alleles could be
produced in the haploid daughter cells?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 16
E. 64

chromosomes found in each of the normal egg cells
produced by this species?
A. 5
B. 10
C. 20
D. 40
Which statement concerning both
mitosis and meiosis is correct?
A. meiosis produces 4 haploid cells while mitosis produces 2 diploid cells
B. meiosis produces 4 diploid cells while mitosis produces 2 haploid cells.
C. Meiosis produces 2 diploid cells while mitosis produces 4 haploid cells
D. Meiosis produces 2 haploid cells while mitosis produces 4 diploid cells
Name the error in meiosis that
caused this disorder
The diagram below shows a cellular process
that occurs in organisms. This process is
known as
Mitosis
Meiosis
Fertilization
Photosynthesis
The diagram below shows homologous chromosomes
during prophase I of meiosis. Which of the following
correctly describes the process being illustrated?
A. Mutation in which
the DNA content of
the gene is altered.
B. Segregation of sister
chromatids
C. Condensation and
segregation of
alleles
D. Crossing over in
which alleles are
exchanged
Mendel arrived at the conclusion that the two
elements affecting a particular trait are
separated during gamete formation. This has
since been confirmed by the discovery of
[A] eggs and sperm
[B] mitosis
[C] fertilization
[D] meiosis
Mendel concluded that genes for two or more
different traits assort independently of one
another at gamete formation. He reached
this conclusion because none of the garden
pea traits he studied were
[A] visible
[B] recessive
[C] codominant
[D] linked
Mendel’s second experiment with pea plants was a dihybrid
cross in which he crossed two true breeding parents with
contrasting forms for two traits. The F 1 hybrids all showed the
dominant form for both traits. When the F 1 was self-
pollinated, the F 2 offspring showed four phenotypes in the
ratio of 9/16; 3/16; 3/16; 1/16. Which principle resulted from
this experiment?
[A] recessive alleles
[B] dominance
[C] linkage
[D] independent assortment
