Q1. How is meiosis II similar to mitosis?
Q2. True or False:
- In meiosis a single cell gives rise to two daughter cells, identical to each other and to the parent cell.
- In meiosis, a single cell gives rise to four daughter cells, identical to each other but NOT identical to the parent cell.
- Crossing over between homologous chromosomes only happens in meiosis.
- Mitosis occurs in nearly all cells, meiosis only occurs in germ cells.
Q3. How does meiosis lead to genetic diversity?
Q4. Clearly draw a diploid eukaryotic cell with 3 chromosomes in a set (2n=6), in metaphase of mitosis. Clearly label: centromeres, centrioles, microtubules.
Q5. What would be the major difference if I asked you to draw a haploid eukaryotic cell with n=3 from above?
