34)By the end of this phase the number of homologous chromosomes is reduced in half.


35)During this stage the sister chromatids begin to separate.


36)Following this phase each individual cell is haploid.


38)During this phase homologues separate.


39)New genetic combinations upon which natural selection can act are present after this stage.


42)4 of 5 choices listed below are characteristic of meiosis. Select the exception. a)involves two divisions b)reduces the number of chromosomes c)results in producing genetically identical cells d)produces haploid cells e)involves synapsis

Assuming that these are homework questions, I suspect that the answers can be found in your text book...





33) Metaphase II


34) Telophase I


35) Anaphase II


36) Telophase I


38) Anaphase I


39) Anaphase II





42) Meiosis does not produce genetically identical cells. That is mitosis.


43) Zygotes are diploid. The other answer choices are 1/2 of the genetic material required for sexual reproduction.
