Need help with question: - if a nucleus has 12 chromosomes when it begins meiosis, how may chromosomes dose it have after telophase I ? How many are there after telophase II? - which meiotic phases underlie variation? - why is it advantageous for a species to have variation with in genetic material? When is it a disadvantage?

For a species with four pairs of chromosomes, chromosome combinations are possible. O 4 O 8 O16 O 20 QUESTION 2 In meiosis, how does prophase I differ from prophase II? In prophase I the sister chromatids are attached; in prophase II the sister chromatids are separated. O During prophase I there is one diploid cell; during prophase Il there are two haploid cells. O During prophase I chromosomes line up single file in the middle of the cell; during prophase Il the chromosomes line up in double file in the middle of the cell. O During prophase I the chromosomes coil up; the chromosomes are not coiled up during prophase I. In prophase I the sister chromatids are attached; in prophase Il the sister chromatids are separated.

Which of the following statements about mitosis and meisois are TRUE? (check all that apply) Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, whereas meiosis produces genetically variable (different) cells. Mitosis consists of a single nuclear division, whereas meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions. DNA replication occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis I. Crossing over occurs in both meiosis I and meiosis II. The number of chromsoomes in newly formed cells is the same as the mother cell in both mitosis and meiosis. 00000
