Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an event that results from mitosis but NOT meiosis?
Responda
  • Two stages of cell division
  • Replication of cellular genetic material
  • Daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
  • Four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell

Questão 2

Questão
Which type of reproduction leads to increased genetic variation in a population?
Responda
  • Parthenogenesis
  • Asexual reproduction
  • Sexual reproduction
  • Vegetative reproduction

Questão 3

Questão
Which of the following best compares the processes of mitosis and meiosis?
Responda
  • Mitosis involves one division cycle and results in diploid daughter cells, while meiosis consists of two division cycles and results in haploid gametes
  • Mitosis involves one division cycle and results in haploid gametes, while meiosis consists of two division cycles and results in diploid daughter cells
  • Mitosis involves two division cycles and results in diploid daughter cells, while meiosis consists of one division cycle and results in haploid gametes
  • Mitosis involves two division cycles and results in haploid gametes, while meiosis consists of one division cycle and results in diploid daughter cells

Questão 4

Questão
Which of the following best explains why meiosis results in greater genetic diversity than mitosis?
Responda
  • After meiosis, daughter cells are diploid and have twice as much genetic material, which can be divided in many more possible combinations
  • After meiosis, haploid daughter cells are fertilized, which doubles the number of chromosomes and increases the number of possible genes
  • During meiosis, chromosomes assort themselves independently of each other, which allows for more different possible combinations of chromosomes
  • During meiosis, more daughter cells are produced, which increases the likelihood that fertilization will occur

Questão 5

Questão
Which of the following occurs during mitosis?
Responda
  • The cell membrane pinches one cell into two
  • The chromosomes of the patient cell are copied
  • The parent cell takes in nutrients and doubles in size
  • The nucleus of the parent cell divides into two nuclei

Questão 6

Questão
In a single celled organism, mitosis is used for:
Responda
  • Development
  • Reproduction
  • Growth
  • Repair

Questão 7

Questão
Multicellular organisms use mitosis for growth, development and:
Responda
  • Apoptosis
  • Repair
  • Reproduction
  • Interphase

Questão 8

Questão
Why is it important for the daughter cells to divide a second time in meiosis?
Responda
  • The second division switches parts of matching chromatids to increase genetic variation
  • The second division forms four identical cells to ensure that all offspring have the same traits
  • The second division sorts chromosomes into cells that are the same as the parent cells
  • The second division forms haploid cells that can combine with other haploid cells during fertilization

Questão 9

Questão
What happens to sister chromatids in meiosis II?
Responda
  • They duplicate
  • They separate
  • They remain together
  • They do not take part

Questão 10

Questão
Which of the following describes how the process of crossing over during meiosis leads to an increase in genetic diversity?
Responda
  • During prophase I, DNA replication takes place and homologous chromosomes trade places with each other before lining up in preparation for metaphase
  • During prophase I, DNA segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes resulting in different combinations of alleles
  • During prophase II, fragments of DNA break off of chromosomes and attach to the ends of other chromosomes, resulting in different gene sequences
  • During prophase II, sister chromatids separate from each other, and as they travel to oppsite ends of the cell, DNA segments of nearby chromosomes are exchanged
