Question

Match each description with the appropriate type of cell division.

- Meiosis only

- Neither mitosis nor meiosis

- Both mitosis and meiosis

1. DNA replication is followed by a single nuclear division.

2. During the first nuclear division, chromoses line up along the equatorial plate in pairs.

3. Nuclear dvision occurs twice but cytokinesis occur only once.

4. Synapsis occurs.

5. The new cells prodcued are gentically identical to each other and to the original cell.

6. During the first nuclear division, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.

7. Homologous chromosomes behave independtly of each other.

8. Independt assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes.

9. Crossing over occurs.

10. During the first nuclear dvision, homologous chromosmes separate and move to opposite poles.

11. The chormosomes number is reduced from 2 sets to 1 set.

12. There are 2 nuclear divisions with no DNA replication between them.

13. Chromosomes condense before they attach to the spindle.

14. During the first nuclear division, sister kinetochores fuse and are attached to the same pole.
