Short Answer
5. Which diagram in Figure 6.3 shows the process of meiosis? How do you know?
6. Identify the process shown in diagram 1. Describe one way the process in diagram 1 is different from the process in diagram 2.
7. Write the letter that corresponds to the part of Figure 6.3 that shows the division of sister chromatids.
8. Write the letter that corresponds to the cells in the diagram that are haploid. How are these cells different from the cells in part D of the diagram?

5. ANS:
Diagram 2 Sample answer: in diagram 2, there are two cell divisions, so this process is meiosis. In diagram 1, there is only one cell division.
