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






2. Sex cells or gametes go through meiosis






3. Contain only one chromosome from each matched pair






4. Reduced 1/2 set






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






6. The fusion of an egg and a sperm






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






8. Meiosis can only occur in...






9. A zygote has a _________ chromosome number






10. Cells are different






11. Complete set






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






13. Same for both






14. 2 divisions in meiosis






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






16. Contain pairs of chromosomes






17. 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






18. Yes cell divides and duplicates everything






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






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






21. After 2 nuclear divisions in meiosis - _______ result






22. 4 cells end of meiosis
