In Haploid Life Cycles, the Majority of the Cycle Is Spent as Haploid Cells

Diploid = 2n with n being # of chromosomes so, a) Haploid = n b) Haploid = 3n

What would happen to the chromosome number in gametes and offspring if ​gametes were formed by the mitotic process instead of the meiotic process?

Considering both asexual and sexual reproduction, does the following statement apply to mitosis only, meiosis only, or both mitosis and meiosis? Mutations that occur during this process would ALWAYS be passed on to the next generation     Neither mitosis nor meiosis     Both mitosis and meiosis     Meiosis only     Mitosis only

Germ cells are haploid cells  True  False

When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. A fungus with white spores cross fertilizes a fungus with black spores. If 10% of the progeny bear white spores while 90% of the progeny bear black spores, what must be true? A. The trait for spore color is determined by exactly one gene. B. The trait for spore color is determined by more than one gene. C. The allele for black spores is dominant over that for white spores. D. The allele for white spores is dominant over that for black spores.
