16

How many pairs of autosomes do humans have?

22

In humans, the haploid number of chromosomes is 23. Independent assortment has the possibility of producing __________ different types of gametes.

223

44

In a diploid cell containing 10 chromosomes, meiosis results in the formation of daughter cells containing __________ chromosomes.

5

Which, if any, of the following statements is true?

All of the above responses are correct.

Which function makes meiosis lengthier and more complex than mitosis?

All of the listed responses are correct.

Which of the following is part of the life cycle called alternation of generations?

All of the listed responses are correct.

Which of the following statements reflects an advantage that sexual reproduction likely provides over asexual reproduction?

Although energetically more costly than asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction leads to different combinations of alleles that could provide adaptability in a changing environment.

A life cycle in which the only multicellular form is haploid is most typical of __________.

Fungi

Which of the following occurs in meiosis, but NOT mitosis?

Homologous chromosomes separate.

Which of the following occurs during anaphase I?

Homologs separate and migrate toward opposite poles.

Which of the following results in cells that contain half the parental chromosome number?

Meiosis

Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of a dividing cell during

Meiosis I

Which life cycle stage is found in plants but not animals?

Multicellular Haploid

Crossing over occurs during __________.

Prophase I

Synapsis occurs during __________.

Prophase I

Which of the following occurs during anaphase II?

Sister chromatids separate and migrate toward opposite poles.

Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that

Sister chromatids separate during anaphase

Which event occurs only during prophase I of the first meiotic division?

Synapsis of homologous pairs occurs.

The diploid number of chromosomes in a certain animal is 8 (2n = 8). How do the four pairs of homologous chromosomes align and separate during meiosis?

They align and assort independently to form any of 16 different combinations.

Which of the following statements about homologous chromosomes is correct?

They have genes for the same traits at the same loci.

At the end of telophase I of meiosis and the first cytokinesis, there are __________.

Regions of chromosomes where nonsister chromatids cross over are called __________.

chiasmata

Cytokinesis is the __________.

division of the cytoplasm to create two cells

What is the typical result when a diploid cell has completed meiosis?

four haploid cells

Spores and gametes are different in that __________.

gametes can fuse to form a zygote, but spores can develop into independent organisms without first forming a zygote

The major contribution of sex to evolution is that __________.

it provides a method to increase genetic variation
