1Choose the incorrect statement about the sexual cycle.
- AAdult eukaryotic cells are diploid.
- BCells in the ovaries and testes are the only cells which undergo meiosis.
- CGametic cells are diploid.
- DThe ovum or sperm is haploid.
- EWhen an adult gametic cell undergoes mitosis, it is still diploid.
2Choose the correct statements.
- ATwo gametes which are haploid fuse to make a diploid zygote.
- BMeiosis halves the number of of chromosomes going into gametes.
- CMitosis creates two haploid daughter cells.
- DMeiosis creates four diploid daughter cells.
3Meiosis I separates sister chromatids.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
4Choose the incorrect statement about Meiosis I.
- ACrossing over occurs between homologous pairs during metaphase.
- BFour sister chromatids form a tetrad in prophase.
- CCrossing over occurs at a chiasmata, the joining of a locus on each chromatid.
- DIn anaphase I, sister chromatids remain attached when the spindles shorten.
5Meiosis I produces two diploid cells.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
6Choose the statements about Meiosis II that are false.
- ATwo haploid cells with doubled chromosomes enter prophase II.
- BCrossing over occurs between sister chromosomes during prophase II.
- CIn anaphase II, sister chromatids are pulled apart.
- DAt the end of telophase II, two haploid cells are present.
7There are no chiasmata formed in mitosis.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
8If the sperm of a mouse has 3 picograms of DNA,
the amount of DNA in the nucleus of a somatic cell
about to divide by mitosis would be:- A3pg
- B6pg
- C12pg
- D24pg
9The structures that move to the spindle poles at
anaphase of meiosis I usually differ from those that
move to the poles at anaphase II with respect to:- Achromatid number
- Bgene copy number
- Cthe ratio of maternal to paternal genes
- Dall of the above
10In males, diploid [blank_start]primary[blank_end] spermatocytes undergo meiosis [blank_start]I[blank_end] to produce two [blank_start]haploid[blank_end] secondary spermatocytes. These undergo meiosis [blank_start]II[blank_end] to form haploid spermatids, or, sperm. Tens of [blank_start]millions[blank_end] of these can be produced per day.
In females, 500,000 [blank_start]diploid primary[blank_end] oocytes are present in a six month old fetus. These begin meiosis I but are suspended in [blank_start]prophase I[blank_end] until ovulation. After ovulation, meiosis I [blank_start]finished[blank_end] and produces two haploid cells, one becomes a [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] oocyte and the other becomes the first polar body. The first polar body is suspended in [blank_start]metaphase II[blank_end] until fertilisation, upon which it completes meiosis II and makes two [blank_start]haploid polar bodies[blank_end]. The secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis II to produce the fourth polar body, and the [blank_start]ovum[blank_end], which are both haploid. [blank_start]Less[blank_end] than 500 ovum will be produced in the female lifespan.- Aprimary

11How can you calculate the possible number of gamete combinations using the haploid number n?
- A2n
- B2n^2
- Cn^2
- D2^n
12Because of sexual reproduction, and because human's haploid number is 23 chromosomes, there are approximately 8 million gametic combinations.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
13Drosophila males do not undergo crossing over at meiosis. If Drosophila has a diploid number of 8, how many genetically distinct types of gametes can be produced by a male Drosophila?
- A4
- B8
- C16
- D32
14Presence of the sexual cycle in a species has the potential to:
- Adecrease competition among offspring
- Ballow the species to respond better
to parasites - Cincrease evolutionary flexibility
- Dall of the above
