| Answer each question below related to meiosis, by selecting the most appropriate answer from the choices given. |
1. Arrange the stages of meiotic prophase I below in order.
• Leptotene, Pachytene, Zygotene, Diplotene, Diakinesis
• Zygotene, Diplotene, Diakinesis, Pachytene, Leptotene
• Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis, Diplotene
• Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, Diakinesis
Answer: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, DiakinesisThe stages of meiotic prophase I in order are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis.
2. During which stage of meiotic prophase I do centrioles divide and start moving towards opposite poles?
• Zygotene
• Pachytene
• Diplotene
• Leptotene
Answer: LeptoteneDuring the leptotene, centrioles divide and start moving towards opposite poles.
3. During which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur?
• Metaphase I
• Metaphase II
• Prophase II
• Prophase I
Answer: Prophase IDuring the prophase I, crossing over occurs.
4. During which stage of meiosis do chromosomes divide at the centromeres?
• Prophase I
• Metaphase I
• Metaphase II
• Anaphase II
Answer: Anaphase IIDuring the anaphase II, chromosomes divide at the centromeres.
5. How many daughter cells are formed in meiosis?
• 2
• 4
• 23
• 46
Answer: 4Four daughter cells are formed in meiosis.
6. The daughter cells formed in meiosis are similar to the parent cells.
• True
• False
Answer: FalseThe daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cells in meiosis. Moreover, their chromosomes are different because of crossing over.
7. The size of the cell remains the same during the prophase I.
• True
• False
Answer: FalseThe cell enlarges during the prophase I.
8. After meiotic cell division, the number of chromosomes in daughter cells is equal to that of parent cells.
• True
• False
Answer: FalseThe number of chromosomes is reduced to half in meiosis, while it remains the same in mitosis.
