9. four genetically different diploid cells
Meiosis and mitosis are processes that occur in an organism during reproduction. The process of meiosis results in which of the following?
Two diploid cells
Four haploid cells
four genetically different diploid cells
two genetically identical haploid daughter cells B

10. Meiosis allows gametes to have a haploid number of chromosomes.
Meiosis and mitosis are both processes involved in reproduction. Which statement does NOT describe the process of meiosis?
Meiosis allows gametes to have a haploid number of chromosomes.
During meiosis, the number of chromosomes per cell is reduced by half.
During meiosis II, chromosomes replicate and crossing over allows genetic variation within the species.
Prior to meiosis I, each chromosome is replicated, and by the end of meiosis II, the number of chromosomes is reduced. C

11. Comp Check
TUESDAY-How did Mendel’s experiments shape the science of genetics?
WEDNESDAY- Explain the difference between homozygous and heterozygous.

13. During meiosis I, cells begin to divide in a way that is very similar to the process of mitosis. However, what major event takes place in meiosis I that does not occur in mitosis?
Crossing over
Chromosome replication
Interphase
Mutation A
