  1. Question 1

    What is meiosis?

    • AA type of cell division in which each daughter cell receives half the chromosome number of the parent cell
    • BA type of cell division that produces two identical diploid cells
    • CA process that produces only one daughter cell
    • DA type of cell division that occurs only in prokaryotic cells
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Meiosis is a type of cell division in which each daughter cell receives half the chromosome number of the parent cell.

  2. Question 2

    What is the main purpose of Meiosis II?

    • ATo separate sister chromatids
    • BTo separate homologous chromosomes
    • CTo replicate DNA
    • DTo double the chromosome number
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Meiosis II separates sister chromatids into different daughter cells.

  3. Question 3

    How many stages are present in Meiosis II?

    • AFour
    • BTwo
    • CThree
    • DSix
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Meiosis II consists of Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II.

  4. Question 4

    What happens during Prophase II?

    • ASpindle fibres form and the chromosomes undergo changes similar to mitosis
    • BHomologous chromosomes pair and crossing over occurs
    • CDNA is replicated for the second time
    • DFour daughter cells are immediately formed
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    During Prophase II, spindle formation occurs and chromosome changes are similar to those in mitosis.

  5. Question 5

    What happens to chromosomes during Metaphase II?

    • AThey align at the equator of the cell
    • BThey pair with homologous chromosomes
    • CThey move directly to opposite poles
    • DThey uncoil into chromatin
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    During Metaphase II, chromosomes align at the equator of each cell.
