| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The long and short arm of a chromosome are called | q and p, respectively |
| Crossing over involves the genetics exchange between | non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes |
| When do the sister chromatids separate during meiosis? | anaphase II |
| Spindle fibers attach to the centromere at the | kinetochore |
| Which of the following event occurs in meiosis but not mitosis? | chromosome pairing |
| Immediately following anaphase of mitosis, a cell would have | Twice as many chromosomes as it did before anaphase |
| Consider a diploid organism that has 3 pairs of chromosomes. Assuming no crossing-over occurs, what proportion of gametes would be expected to contain chromosomes of maternal origin only? | 1/8 |
| Consider a diploid organism that has 3 pairs of chromosomes. Assuming no crossing-over occurs, what proportion of gametes would be expected to contain some chromosomes from both paternal and maternal origin? | 3/4 |

| What is the correct order for the stages of the cell cycle? | G1-S-G2-M |
| The end results of meiosis is the formation of | 4 gentically different cells |
| Which of the following best describes the chromosomal composition of a daughter cell immediately following telophase I of meiosis? | Haploid, and each chromosome consists of 2 chromatids |
| Mendel’s second law (independent assortment) can be explained by | Random arrangements of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I |
| In humans, how many types of gametes are possible? | 2^23 |
