10 Questions
What is the main difference between meiosis II and mitosis in terms of chromosome behavior?
In meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated, while in mitosis, homologous chromosomes are separated.
Why are you not an exact replica of your siblings even though you have the same parents?
Due to the random assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.
What event in meiosis is responsible for creating new combinations of genetic material in each resulting daughter cell?
Crossing over during prophase I
Why does meiosis II exhibit the same chromosome behavior as mitosis?
Both aim to produce new cells and replicate genetic material.
Which process results in a reduction of the number of cells by half and produces 4 haploid cells?
Meiosis
What is the key event that separates sister chromatids in meiosis II?
Anaphase II
Which division is responsible for separating homologous chromosomes in meiosis?
Meiosis I
What is the primary reason why siblings are not genetic replicas of each other?
'Random assortment' during meiosis leads to different combinations of genes.
'Recombination' during which phase of meiosis leads to unique genetic combinations?
'Prophase I'
'Production of new cells' and 'Replication of genetic material' are characteristics shared by which processes?
'Meiosis and Mitosis'
