1. Why are there two divisions in meiosis? 2. Define Meiosis. 3. Mitosis results in how many daughter cells? Are these daughter cells genetically identical to the original cell? Why or why not? 4. Meiosis results in how many daughter cells? Are these daughter cells genetically identical to the original cell? Why or why not? 5. What is the function of mitosis? 6. What is the function of meiosis? 7. Meiosis creates sex cells or gametes. What are the sex cells/gametes found in females? What are the sex cells/gametes found in males? 8. During meiosis, genetic information is swapped during what process? 9. What are homologous chromosomes? 10.How many chromosomes can be found in a normal human cell? 11.How many chromosomes can be found in a human sex cell? Process of Meiosis • Draw a cell with a diploid number of 8 in interphase (before DNA Replication occurs.) • Draw this same cell during the stage in the first division in which Independent Assortment occurs. • Draw the final products of Meiosis. Note: Be sure your chromosome arrangement is consistent with your previous picture.
