Meiosis Quiz: Year 10 Biology

Instructions:

This quiz consists of 10 questions about meiosis, including its stages and differences from mitosis. Each question is accompanied by a list of possible answers.

Questions:

  1. The image of a cell undergoing prophase I in meiosis, showing paired homologous chromosomes and visible chromatids. Which process is illustrated in this image?

    • A. Mitosis
    • B. Meiosis
    • C. Cytokinesis
    • D. Binary Fission

  2. The image of a cell during metaphase I, with homologous chromosome pairs aligned at the equatorial plane. What is the key event happening in this stage?

    • A. Chromosomes are being separated.
    • B. Homologous chromosomes are randomly lined up.
    • C. DNA replication is occurring.
    • D. The nuclear membrane is reforming.

  3. The image of anaphase I showing homologous chromosomes being pulled to opposite poles of the cell. What is being specifically separated in this stage?

    • A. Sister chromatids
    • B. Homologous chromosomes
    • C. Centrioles
    • D. Nucleolus

  4. The image of a cell in telophase I, where two new nuclei are forming around the separated chromosomes. What is the outcome of this stage?

    • A. Two diploid daughter cells
    • B. Two haploid daughter cells
    • C. Four haploid daughter cells
    • D. Two identical diploid cells

  5. The image of meiosis II resembling mitosis, with chromosomes aligned at the center of the cell. How does this stage differ from meiosis I?

    • A. It involves double the number of chromosomes.
    • B. It separates sister chromatids instead of homologous chromosomes.
    • C. It occurs only in somatic cells.
    • D. It does not include metaphase.

  6. The image of a cell in anaphase II, where sister chromatids are being pulled apart. What is the significance of this process?

    • A. Genetic variation increases.
    • B. Chromosomes return to the nucleus.
    • C. Genetic material is equally distributed to daughter cells.
    • D. DNA replication occurs.

  7. The image of four genetically diverse cells produced by meiosis at the end of telophase II. What type of cells are these?

    • A. Somatic cells
    • B. Gametes
    • C. Stem cells
    • D. Zygotes

  8. The image of a Venn diagram comparing mitosis and meiosis, highlighting key differences. Which of the following is a significant distinction between the two processes?

    • A. Mitosis results in four cells; meiosis results in two.
    • B. Meiosis is involved in growth; mitosis in reproduction.
    • C. Mitosis produces genetically identical cells; meiosis produces genetically varied cells.
    • D. Both processes occur in all types of cells.

  9. The image of a model depicting crossing-over between homologous chromosomes during prophase I. What does this process contribute to?

    • A. Genetic stability
    • B. Genetic diversity
    • C. DNA replication
    • D. Cell cycle regulation

  10. The image of different cell types, labeling somatic and gametic cells. Which statement accurately describes the products of meiosis?

    • A. Meiosis produces diploid cells.
    • B. Meiosis produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
    • C. Meiosis occurs in somatic cells.
    • D. Meiosis produces two genetically identical cells.
