QUIZ#9

THE EVOLUTION OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION: MEIOSIS

TRUE OR FALSE

1. Meiosis occurs only in cells responsible for sexual reproduction.

2. A haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes instead of the normal pair.

3. The cells produced at the end of meiosis are genetically identical to the parent cell.

4. In 1883, the meiotic cell division was first described by Van Beneden.

5. Mutations do not occur during mitosis but they do occur during meiosis.
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes and is commonly denoted as (n).

6. Mitosis does not usually produce variation between offspring but meiosis does.
Meiosis has two parts. It undergoes I-PMAT and II-PMAT.

7. Meiosis' biological importance is to create a population that is not only physically and
genetically different but also one, which is perfectly fit to survive.

8. Meiosis results creates special cells called gametes that have exact copies of the parents cells
genetic material.

9. In metaphase I, the chromosomes replicate in preparation for meiosis.

10. The homologous chromosomes have the same sequence of genes, that have the same
structure, and that pair during meiosis.

activity/ies in line with the Objectives?

Is the Assessment aligned to the Objectives? Explain.

Is the Assignment aligned to the Objectives? Explain.

What can you say about the overall plan?

Directions: Match column A with the corresponding item in column B. Write the letter of your
answer for each number.

COLUMN A
___1. Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids
during meiosis. This increases genetic variation.
___2. A cell that contains only one set of chromosomes instead of the normal pair.
___3. A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes; one inherited from the mother and one
inherited from the father.
___4. In 1883, the meiotic cell division was first described by______.
___5. When cells divide in meiosis, each individual chromosome is separated randomly and
independently.
___6. It is the process which two gamete cells unite.
___7. A process in cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the
original number. It occurs by two divisions of the nucleus and results in the production of 4 sex
cells.
___8. It produces an offspring when genetic materials from two different sex cells combine.
___9.Chromosomes replicate in preparation for meiosis.
___10. Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structure, and
that pair during meiosis.
