A) Hoe many cells are produced by the end of meiosis II? B) Are the cells produced at the end of meiosis II haploid or diploid? C) Are the chromosomes of the four final meiotic products replicated or nonreplicated?

Determine whether each of the following events occurs in mitosis, in meiosis, or in both kinds of nuclear division a) Chromosomes duplicate prior to the initial stage b) Homologs undergo pairing (synapsis) c) Individual chromosomes align independently on the spindle equator d) Homologs separate and move toward opposite poles e) Diploid cells are the end result of the process

As two students, who will be designated Student J and Student K, were studying together, they argued about the differences between Mitosis and Meiosis (both Meiosis I and Meiosis II). Student J maintained that it if they were looking at very good slides under the microscope and concentrated on Metaphase, it would be possible to tell the difference between the cells undergoing Mitosis, the cells undergoing Meiosis I, and the cells undergoing Meiosis II. Student K said it would be impossible to tell which nuclear division was occurring. Assume there are three unlabeled sets of very good slides of the cells of the common pea plant with one set showing Mitosis, one set showing Meiosis I, and one set showing Meiosis II. To repeat, the slides are unlabeled so the students don’t know which process is occurring in which set. However, the students know that the common pea plant has 14 total chromosomes (or 7 pairs of chromosomes). Explain carefully what Student J would be looking for at the…

What went wrong during meiosis of the parent cell on the left? a) nondisjunction during meiosis I b) nothing went wrong c) nondisjunction during meiosis II d) monosomy during meiosis II e) trisomy during meiosis I
