Match the pictures, questions, and terms on the
left to the correct answer on the right:
1._________
A. meiosis
B. Crossing-over in which genes are
exchanged
2._________Which correctly describes where
meiosis occurs?
C. The diploid chromosome number
represents pairs of chromosomes, one from
each parent, so it is always an even number.
3._________Which of the following produces
identical nuclei in cells?
D. Both Sperm cells and Egg cells
4._________Which of the following cell types is
formed by meiosis?
5.________ Definition of Daughter cells
6._________Which of the following is the best
explanation for why the chromosome number is an
even number in each all organisms?
7._________Which of the following explains how
meiosis differs from mitosis?
8._________Which of the following best describes
meiosis?
9._________The process of mitosis results in
10.________The diagram below represents what
process?
E. Mitosis
F. It is carried out in all tissues that require
cell replacement
G. an egg
H. It occurs only in cells in the reproductive
structures of the organism
I. It is the division of cells into haploid
sperms or eggs
J. It is the first stage of mitosis
K. prophase, telophase
L. Fertilization
M. Meiosis
N. It has two cell divisions rather than one
11._______The process that is occurring at A is
12._______The process that is occurring at B is
13._______The gamete that contains genes
contributed only by the mother is
14._______“During mitosis, the nucleus disappears
during __________ and reappears during
__________.”
O. 2 identical cells
P. Two identical cells that form one mother
cell through mitosis

interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase or
telophase. Provide one justification for your
response.

For each statement below, write whether the
statement is discussing mitosis or meiosis.
_____________________ Makes haploid cells.
What is the purpose of mitosis? (looking for three
purposes)
1

_____________________ Makes diploid cells.
What is the final product of mitosis?
_____________________ Responsible for
genetic diversity.
_____________________Divides once.
Use the chart below to describe each phase of mitosis
and with at least two details for each phase.
_____________________ Divides twice.
_____________________ Creates sperm and egg
cells.
_____________________ Occurs in body cells.
_____________________ Helps replace dead
cells.
_____________________ Includes the process of
crossing over.
_____________________ Produces two identical
cells.
(Hint: Describe the roles of spindle fibers, centrioles,
the actions of the chromatin/ chromosomes/
chromatids, nuclear envelope, equator, cytoplasm
and/or cytokinesis, and cell membrane and/or cell
wall)
