Question
Answer
In 1882, Pierre-Joseph van Beneden, was surprised to find the same number of chromosomes in all cells of the roundworm Ascaris. A) True B) False   show
🗑
show diploid  
🗑
An organism reproduces either sexually or asexually but not both.A) True B) False   show
🗑
In the sexual life cycle, there is an alternation of diploid and haploid phases. A) True B) False   show
🗑
_____________ cells are genetically identical to the zygote from which they originated. A) Somatic B) Germ-line C) Body D) All of the above   show
🗑
show fertilization  
🗑
show Interphase  
🗑
show prophase I  
🗑
During ____________, the random orientation of the chromosomes results in a shuffling of the chromosomes so that each daughter cell that results has a different combination of parental chromosomes.   show
🗑
Meiosis II is simply a mitotic division involving the products of meiosis I, except that the sister chromatids are not genetically identical as they are in mitosis. A) True B) False   show
🗑
At the end of meiosis II, each of the haploid cells contains ________ of every chromosome in the set.   show
🗑
__________________ draws homologous chromosomes together all along their lengths creating an opportunity where two homologues can physically exchange portions of themselves.   show
🗑
Reduction division produces diploid gametes thus ensuring that the chromosome number remains the same as the parents, following fertilization. A) True B) False   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show the second meiotic division  
🗑
Sexual reproduction increases genetic variability through A) independent assortment B) crossing over C) random fertilization D) all of the above   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
Reproduction that involves the alternation of meiosis and fertilization is called asexual reproduction. A) True B) False   show
🗑
Organisms that reproduce by mitotic division are practicing sexual reproduction. A) True B) False   show
🗑
show germ cells went through meiosis; the egg and sperm only have half the parental chromosomes.  
🗑
show 23  
🗑
In organisms that have sexual life cycles there is a time when there are   show
🗑
show randomly separate the homologous pairs, called independent assortment.  
🗑
show separate the duplicated sister chromatids.  
🗑
During which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur?   show
🗑
show homologous chromosomes become closely associated.  
🗑
show make diploid cells/make haploid cells  
🗑
show has a lot of genetic reassortment due to what can happen in meiosis I.  
🗑
Genetic diversity is greatest in   show
🗑
The main outcome of the four stages of meiosis II---prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II-is to separate   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
