What is the fundamental difference between mitosis and meiosis?
A.
DNA is replicated twice in meiosis, but only once in mitosis.
B.
The number of DNA molecules per cell nucleus is cut in half in meiosis but remains constant in mitosis.
C.
The number of chromosomes doubles in meiosis, whereas it stays the same in mitosis.
D.
Mitosis involves two cell divisions, whereas meiosis only involves one.
A diploid male organism has two homologous chromosomes. A and B are from its maternal parent, while A’ and B’ are from its paternal parent. Draw the chromosomes at the following stages: a, anaphase of mitosis b. anaphase of the first meiotic division c, anaphase of the second meiotic division
If the same chromosomes were involved in meiosis in a female, would the kind of egg nuclei produced be different from the sperm nuclei? Why?
Which of the following occurs in meiosis I?a. All chromosomes duplicate.b. Homologous chromosomes randomly orient themselves on the metaphase plate, called independent assortment.c. The duplicated sister chromatids separate.d. The original cell divides into four diploid cells.
