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.arrow_forward

Answer auto, allo, both or neither for each statement. a) Balanced and unbalanced gametes can form.b) Contains 4 homologous copies of every chromosome.c) Originated from 2 different ancestral diploid species.d) Fully fertile.arrow_forwardAt the end of meiosis in humans, four gametes are produced that are: A. Genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell B. Genetically identical to each other but genetically different from the parent cell C. Genetically different from each other and the parent cell D. Genetically identical to the parent cell from different from each otherarrow_forward
- What is a balanced gamete? A).A gamete that does not contain any chromosomes with inversions B.)A gamete with normal dosages of all genes C.)A gamete with two sets of homologous chromosomes D.)A gamete with two sex chromosomesarrow_forwardGive explanation X and Y chromosomes are not homologs, but in meiosis they do pair and segregate in XY organisms to create 50% haploid gametes with an X chromosome and 50% haploid gametes with a Y chromosome. How is pairing achieved? a. Since all other homologous chromosomes pair, the remaining two chromosomes pair by default. b Pairing proteins are capable of binding to different genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which allows them to pair. c. None of the statements is correct. d. They don't actually pair. Random segregation generally ensures the X and Y chromosomes separate. e.Pseudoautosomal regions that are homologous exist at the tips of both the X and Y chromosomes, and they allow pairing.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
