Chapter 13, Problem 3
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that a. sister chromatids separate during anaphase. b. DNA replicates before the division. c. the daughter cells are diploid. d. homologous chromosomes synapse.

A human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome is a. a sperm. b. an egg. c. a zygote. d. a somatic cell of a male.
The two homologs of a pair move toward opposite poles of dividing cell during a. mitosis. b. meiosis I. c. meiosis II. d. fertilization.
If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of meiosis I will be a. 0.25x. b. 0.5x. c. x. d. 2x.
If we continue to follow the cell lineage from question 4, then the DNA content of a single cell at metaphase of meiosis II will be a. 0.25x. b. 0.5x. c. x. d. 2x.
DRAW IT The diagram shows a cell in meiosis. a. Label the appropriate structures with these terms: chromosome (label as duplicated or unduplicated), centromere, kinetochore, sister chromatids, nonsister chromatids, homologous pair (use a bracket when labeling), homolog (label each one), chiasma, sister chromatid cohesion, and gene loci, labeling the alleles of the F and H genes.
