Question

Match the terms below with their corresponding definitions.

1. _____Mitosis
2. _Meiosis
3. _Homologous chromosomes
4. _Crossing over
5. _____Cytokinesis

A. Cytoplasmic division
B. Diploid nuclei producing haploid nuclei
C. Results in genetic variation
D. Carry similar genes
E. Diploid nuclei producing diploid nuclei

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Understand the definition of Mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division where a diploid nucleus divides to produce two diploid nuclei, maintaining the chromosome number. Match this with option E: 'Diploid nuclei producing diploid nuclei'. Step 2: Understand Meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid nuclei from diploid nuclei. Match this with option B: 'Diploid nuclei producing haploid nuclei'. Step 3: Define Homologous chromosomes. These are pairs of chromosomes that carry similar genes, one inherited from each parent. Match this with option D: 'Carry similar genes'. Step 4: Understand Crossing over. This is the process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation. Match this with option C: 'Results in genetic variation'. Step 5: Define Cytokinesis. This is the division of the cytoplasm following nuclear division, resulting in two separate cells. Match this with option A: 'Cytoplasmic division'.
