Questions and Answers

What is the main reason why meiosis II is considered a reductional stage?

  • Because meiosis II is mitotic in nature
  • Being identical to mitosis in chromosome segregation
  • Having the same process as meiosis I
  • Due to homologous pairing of chromosomes separated during anaphase II (correct)

Which of the following accurately describes nondisjunction during meiosis?

  • Chromosomes cross over and trade genetic information
  • Breaks and fragments are passed on
  • Chromosomes fail to separate during anaphase I or anaphase II (correct)
  • Only three instead of four cells are produced from meiosis

Which stage of cell division results in the halving of chromosomes?

  • Meiosis I (correct)
  • Mitosis II
  • Meiosis II
  • Both meiosis I and II
