ASSURED EXAMINATION SOLUTIONS
asexual reproduction - correct answer-
directing cells to divide and develop into new
tissues and organs without a partner
sexual reproduction - correct answer- -takes
more time and energy than asexual reproduction
-genetically diverse offspring
-requires fertilization
-requires haploid gametes
-mating
most plants and animals produce_______ -
correct answer- gametes called eggs and sperm
Meiosis - correct answer- nuclear division
that forms haploid cells
,2 | Page
Meiosis I - correct answer- diploid cells
divide to create 2 haploid cells, each with
one of the homologous chromosomes
Meiosis II - correct answer- 2 haploid cells
divide to form 4 haploid cells, which develop
into eggs or sperm
Prophase I (Meiosis) - correct answer- -
chromosomes condense
-nuclear envelope breaks down
-spindle fibers start to form (microtubules)
-crossing over occurs
Metaphase 1 (Meiosis) - correct answer- Pairs
of homologous chromosomes move to metaphase
plate
Anaphase I (Meiosis) - correct answer-
homologous chromosomes separate and move to
opposite poles of the cell
, 3 | Page
Telophase and Cytokensis (Meiosis) - correct
answer- -chromosomes gather at poles of the
cell
-cytoplasm divides
Prophase II (Meiosis) - correct answer- -2
cells
-a new spindle forms around the chromosomes
Metaphase II (Meiosis) - correct answer-
chromosomes line up at the metaphase
plate/equator
Anaphase II (Meiosis) - correct answer- -2
cells
-centromeres divide
-chromatids move to opposite poles of the
cells
Telophase II and Cytokinesis (Meiosis) -
correct answer- -goes from 2 cells to 4 cells
-nuclear envelope forms around each set of
chromosomes
