During meiosis, the chromosome number: a) is doubled b) is reduced by half c) remains the same d) becomes diploid 2. How many times do cells divide during meiosis? _______ 3. When a sperm cell and an ovum/egg merge, they undergo the process of fertilization and give rise to a (gamete, zygote), which is (haploid, diploid). 4. Describe the purpose of meiosis ___________________________________________________________________________ 5. How many times does the cell divide during Meiosis? ___________________________________________________________________________ 6. What kind of cells are produced at the end of meiosis? ___________________________________________________________________________ 7. Briefly describe the difference between prophase I & II. ___________________________________________________________________________ 8. Mitosis v. Meiosis - Explaining Differences: Explain what happens in each of the following processes in Meiosis that is different from Mitosis and why the difference is important. Prophase I (in Meiosis I): Metaphase I and Anaphase I (in Meiosis I): 9. What is independent (or random) assortment, and when does it happen during meiosis? 10. What is crossing over, and when does it happen during meiosis?
