Practise MYP Biology questions on 5.4 Meiosis and review the explanations to check your understanding.
Use these questions for topic practice and to find ideas you want to revisit in your notes or lessons.
True or False: A cell is considered haploid immediately after the completion of Meiosis I.
During __________, the nuclear membranes that may have briefly reformed after Meiosis I break down again as a new spindle apparatus forms.
Using the 'shuffling card decks' analogy, if shuffling the decks represents crossing over and independent assortment, what do the 'four hands' dealt represent?
Which of the following correctly describes the movement of genetic material during Anaphase I?
Which of the following best describes the genetic state of the two cells produced immediately after the completion of Cytokinesis I?
True
False
Metaphase II
Anaphase I
Telophase II
Prophase II
The four genetically different haploid gametes
The four stages of Meiosis I
The four homologous chromosomes
The four sister chromatids in a pair
Chromosomes line up single file at the equator.
The nuclear membrane reforms around four haploid nuclei.
Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles.
Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart while sister chromatids remain attached.
They are haploid and each chromosome consists of a single chromatid.
They are diploid and genetically identical to the parent cell.
They are haploid but each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids.
They are diploid but contain new genetic combinations due to crossing over.
