Meiosis is relatively rare and mitosis is relatively common. Which of the following makes meiosis different from mitosis?
Meiosis produces DNA-less cells.
We don't fully understand meiosis mechanisms.
All gametes are diploid, whereas daughter cells from mitosis are haploid.
The resulting cells (gametes) are haploid.
Nondisjunction results in uneven distribution of chromosomes during meiosis.
Which of the following are true during meiosis?
Select all that apply
When nondisjunction occurs in meiosis II, sister chromatids fail to separate
When nondisjunction occurs in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes fail to
separate
If a cell has a diploid number of 6 (2n =6), and one pair of chromosomes
experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I, then two cells will have 4
chromosomes, and two cells will have 2 chromosomes
If a cell has a diploid number of 6 (2n =6), and one pair of chromosomes
experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I, then two cells will have 6
chromosomes, and two cells will have none
If an organism has a total diploid chromosome number of 18, how many chromosomes will be in a
single gamete?
