Allison and Greta are discussing mitosis and meiosis. Allison says that body cells such as muscle cells would use mitosis, and Greta says that body cells would use meiosis.Who is correct?

A
Allison, because body cells need to be haploid, genetically different copies, which are produced through mitosis
B
Allison, because body cells need to be diploid, identical copies, which are produced through mitosis
C
Greta, because body cells need to be haploid, identical copies, which are produced through meiosis
D
Greta, because body cells need to be diploid, genetically different copies, which are produced through meiosis

A
At the end of meiosis, there are two cells, each with 46 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between both cells.
B
At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.
C
At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 46 chromosomes, for a total of 184 chromosomes split between the four cells.
D
At the end of meiosis, there are two cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 184 chromosomes split between both cells.

What process allows for the development of haploid sex cells?

A
mitosis
B
meiosis
C
fertilization
D
pollination
5

What occurs after cytokinesis is completed at the end of meiosis I?

A
Four haploid cells are formed.
B
Two diploid cells are formed.
C
Two haploid cells are formed.
D
Four diploid cells are formed.

Anna and Louis are talking about this diagram.

Question illustration
A
Anna is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart, which happens in anaphase I.
B
Louis is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart in two haploid cells, which indicates anaphase II.
C
They are both correct because the process of anaphase is the same in meiosis I and meiosis II.
D
Neither is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart, which happens in metaphase.

metaphase I and II
D
metaphase II only
