B.   homologous chromosomes, or homologs
C.   sex chromosomes
Question #8
Match the term and its description. two chromosomes in each pair
A.   sex chromosomes
B.   homologous chromosomes, or homologs
C.   diploid
Question #9
Match the term and its description. chromosomes that determine the sex of the individual

Question #10
Match the term and its description. two sets of chromosomes (2N)
A.   karyotype
B.   diploid
C.   In an animal life cycle, zygote divides by mitosis to develop into a multicellular organism.
D.   haploid
Question #11
Review the variety of life cycle. This is a multiple answers question. Which statement is true about the life cycles?
A.   In the life cycles of plants and some algae, the diploid sporophyte, makes haploid spores by mitosis and the haploid adult in fungi and plants produces gametes by mitosis.
B.   In an animal life cycle, meiosis produces gametes (n). Gametes are the only haploid cells in animals. In an animal life cycle, zygote divides by mitosis to develop into a multicellular organism. Plants and some algae exhibit an alternation of generations in their life cycles. In the life cycles of plants and some algae, the diploid sporophyte, makes haploid spores by meiosis. In most fungi and some protists, the only diploid stage is the single-celled zygote; there is no multicellular diploid stage. and; The haploid adult in fungi and plants produces gametes by mitosis.
C.   Plants and some algae exhibit an alternation of generations in their life cycles.
D.   In the life cycles of plants and some algae, the diploid sporophyte, makes haploid spores by meiosis and in an animal life cycle, zygote divides by mitosis to develop into a multicellular organism.
E.   In early prophase I, each chromosome pairs with its homolog and crossing over occurs and during Meiosis II, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and genetic variation is produced
F.   In an animal life cycle, meiosis produces gametes (n). Gametes are the only haploid cells in animals
Question #12
Review meiosis. This is a multiple answers question. Which statement is true about the meiosis?
A.   Meiosis is preceded by the replication of chromosomes and during Meiosis II, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and genetic variation is produced.
B.   In anaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes separate
C.   At the end of meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and genetic variation is produced.
D.   During Meiosis II, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and genetic variation is produced
E.   Meiosis is preceded by the replication of chromosomes, in early prophase I, each chromosome pairs with its homolog and crossing over occurs, in anaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes separate, and at the end of meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and genetic variation is produced.

A.   telophase II and cytokinesis
B.   telopase I and cytokinesis
C.   anaphase II
Question #17
Review meiosis process. Match the event with meiotic phases. separation of sister chromatids
A.   metaphase I
B.   prophase I
C.   anaphase II
Question #18
Review genetic variation. This is a multiple answers question. Which statement is true about the mechanisms of genetic variation?
A.   crossing over and mitosis
B.   random fertilization
C.   independent assortment of chromosomes and mitosis
D.   mitosis
E.   independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and random fertilization
Question #19
Review mutation. This is a multiple answers question. Which statement is true about mutation?
A.   Crossing over is a form of mutation.
B.   Mutations refer to the changes in an organism’s DNA. Mutations are the original source of genetic diversity. Mutations create different versions of genes called alleles.
C.   Mutations create different versions of genes called alleles.
D.   Mutations refer to the changes in an organism’s DNA.
E.   Mutations are the original source of genetic diversity. Crossing over is a form of mutation.
