CSET Meiosis

Subjects : cset, science, biology
Instructions:
  • Answer 22 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. 2 divisions in meiosis






2. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






3. A zygote has a _________ chromosome number






4. Sexual reproduction of cells - Has 2 division cells - makes 2 complete sets






5. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






6. When 2 gametes join - the chromosome number is...






7. Contain pairs of chromosomes






8. Same for both






9. 4 cells end of meiosis






10. Forms when one sperm cell gains an egg cell fertilize and make complete set






11. Have 1/2 # of chromosomes from parent cells (1/2 aploid)






12. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






13. Gives variations in species because of overcrossing Meiosis is a bit different because there something called crossing - over happens with the DNA. This crossing over is an exchange of genes. The genes are mixed up - not resulting in a perfect duplic






14. Yes overcrossing chromosomes interlink and exchange information in children overcrossing siblings look different






15. Cells are different






16. The egg and the sperm have a aploid chromosome number






17. Complete set






18. Reduced 1/2 set






19. The chromosome number is ______ by a process called Meiosis






20. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






21. Meiosis can only occur in...
