SC.912.L.16.17 Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and relate to the processes of sexual
and asexual reproduction and their consequences for genetic variation.
SC.912.L.16.14 Describe the cell cycle, including the process of mitosis. Explain the role of mitosis
in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during
asexual reproduction.
1. Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an
event that results from mitosis but NOT meiosis?
A. two stages of cell division
B. replication of cellular genetic material
C. daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
D. four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell

SC.912.L.16.16 Describe the process of meiosis, including independent assortment and crossing
over. Explain how reduction division results in the formation of haploid gametes or spore
11. Why is it important for the daughter cells to divide a second time in meiosis?
A. The second division switches parts of matching chromatids to increase genetic variation.
B. The second division forms four identical cells to ensure that all offspring have the same
traits.
C. The second division sorts chromosomes into cells that are the same as the parent cells.
D. The second division forms haploid cells that can combine with other haploid cells during
fertilization.

15. Which of the following best describes how the process of crossing over during meiosis leads to an
increase in genetic diversity?
A. During prophase I, DNA replication takes place and homologous chromosomes trade
places with each other before lining up in preparation for metaphase.
B. During prophase I, DNA segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes
resulting in different combinations of alleles.
C. During prophase II, fragments of DNA break off of chromosomes and attach to the ends of
other chromosomes, resulting in different gene sequences.
D. During prophase II, sister chromatids separate from each other, and as they travel to
opposite ends of the cell, DNA segments of nearby chromosomes are exchanged.
