Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 2A
How does
a. DNA replication takes less time in meiosis because the cells are haploid.
b. During meiosis, there is only one round of replication for two divisions.
c. During mitosis, there is only one round of replication every other division.
d. DNA replication is exactly the same in mitosis and meiosis.

Students have asked these similar questions
Even though the processes are very similar, mitosis and meiosis are two very distinct processes. What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis?
a.
Mitosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell, while meiosis also starts with diploid but results in haploid cells.
b.
Mitosis only occurs in plants and single cell organisms, while meiosis only occurs in animals.
c.
Mitosis starts with diploid but results in haploid cells, while meiosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell.
In which phases in meiosis is variation of genetic makeup accomplished?
a. Prophase I, Anaphase I and Anaphase II
b. Prophase II, Anaphase I and Anaphase II
c. Prophase I, Metaphase I and Anaphase II
d. Prophase II, Metaphase I and Metaphase II
If 6 cells undergoing celll division has 12 chromosomes, how many chromosome will there be in the daughter cells after mitosis and meiosis II respectively?
a. 6 and 12
b. 12 and 6
c. 6 and 3
d. 6 and 6
In meiosis, the number of chromosomes of the mother cell compared to the resultant daughter cell's chromosome is
A. doubled
B. halved
C. tripled
D. the same
Elongation of the cell undergoing the last phases of mitosis is due to
A. movement of the chromosomes to the opposite poles
B. increase in the volume of the cytoplasm that should be contained
C. depolymerization of the spindle fibers connected to the kinetochore
D. polymerization of the spindle fibers not connected to the kinetochore
What is the function of the kinetochore during mitosis?a. It promotes the attachment of monads to each other toform a dyad.b. It is a location where a kinetochore microtubule can attachto a chromosome.c. It promotes the condensation of chromosomes duringprophase.d. Both a and b are correct.
