Meiosis vs. Mitosis Review/Study Guide…Test on Thursday (2/19) and Friday (2/20)
1. Be able to define the following terms and use them appropriately in explanations.
a. Gonads
b. Gametes
c. Ploidy
d. Diploid
e. Haploid
f. Traits
g. Gene
h. Allele
i. Fertilization
j. Meiosis
k. Mitosis
l. Homologous Chromosomes
m. Genotype
n. Phenotype
2. Explain differences between Mitosis and Meiosis…including but not limited to the types
of cells produced, number of chromosomes, where the processes occur in the body,
Significant things that are different during the process (i.e. Synapsis, crossing over, how
they line up during metaphase I of Meiosis compared to metaphase of Mitosis, etc.)
3. Be able to explain the events that occur during meiosis that increase the chances for
genetic variation in offspring.
4. Be able to explain how the diploid chromosome number is maintained from one
generation to the next during sexual reproduction.
5. Understand and explain Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance (Look on your Reebop lab sheet).
