12
What process occurs during Prophase I in meiosis that contributes to genetic variability?
Replication
Crossing over
Mitosis
Independent assortment
The process of meiosis results in

Homologous chromosomes are defined as
Chromosomes in which all sets come from the male
Chromosomes in which a set comes from each parent
Chromosomes in which all sets come from the female
Chromosomes in which all sets come from each grandparent
Unlike mitosis, meiosis results from the formation of

Which of the following is NOT correct?
All somatic cells are produced by mitosis
Cytokinesis is a part of mitosis
Mitosis produces genetically identical cells

Prior to cell division, each chromosome replicates or duplicates its genetic material. The products are connected by a centromere and are called:
Sex chromatids
Sex chromosomes
Sister chromatids
Sister chromosomes
During which stage of mitosis do nucleii reappear?
Telophase
Anaphase
Metaphase
Prophase
Mitosis and meiosis are both processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an event that results from mitosis but not meiosis?
Replication of genetic material
