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. 4 cells end of meiosis






2. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






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






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






5. A zygote has a _________ chromosome number






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






7. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






8. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






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






10. Cells are different






11. 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






12. 2 divisions in meiosis






13. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






14. Reduced 1/2 set






15. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






16. Same for both

18. Meiosis can only occur in...






19. Complete set






20. Contain pairs of chromosomes






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






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