Mitosis and Meiosis Year 10

What phase of mitosis involves the chromosomes aligning in the centre of the cell?

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

During which phase does crossing over occur?

• Prophase

• Metaphase I

• Metaphase II

• Prophase I

What is the term for a cell that contains homologous chromsome pairs?

• Haploid

• Diploid

• Monoploid

• Gamete

What is the main purpose of meiosis?

• Growth and repair

• Production of gametes

• Growth only

• Asexual reproduction

Which phase of mitosis is characterised by the separation of sister chromatids?

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

What are the products of mitosis?

• 2 genetically identical haploid cells

• 2 genetically identical diploid cells

• 4 genetically identical haploid cells

• 4 genetically identical diploid cells

Which of the following represents the correct sequence of mitosis?

• Prophase - anaphase - telophase - metaphase

• Telophase - metaphase - anaphase - prophase

• Prophase - anaphase - metaphase - telophase

• Prophase - metaphase - anaphase- telophase

During which phase of meiosis does independent assortment occur?

• Prophase I

• Anaphase I

• Prophase II

• Metaphase I

Meiosis results in the formation of:

• 2 genetically identical daughter cells

• 2 genetically unique daughter cells

• 4 genetically identical daughter cells

• 4 genetically unique daughter cells

What statement is true for both mitosis AND meiosis?

• 4 genetically unique daughter cells are produced

• Diploid cells are created

• DNA replication occurs in interphase

• They are used to produce gametes in humans
