WITH 100% ANSWERS { GRADED A+}




Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis. - ✔✔Mitosis produces 2

identical cells, where as meiosis produces 4 haploid cells (gametes)


Homologous chromosomes: - ✔✔contains same genes but not

necessarily same alleles


C-value: - ✔✔amount of DNA per cell


What is the net effect of meiosis? - ✔✔to reduce one diploid cell to

four haploid gametic products

Differentiate between Mendel's Law of Segregation vs. Independent

Assortment. - ✔✔Law of segregation states that each side has to get

, one copy of each gene whereas independent assortment refers to the

random shuffling of alleles of genes

Define mutually exclusive event.




Which law refers to a mutually exclusive event? Explain. - ✔✔if one

event happens, the other cannot happen (if you flipped a coin and it

landed on heads, it could not land on tails in the same toss)




Mendel's Law of segregation - during meiosis, each gamete will have

one allele OR the other)

Define independent event.




Which law refers to an independent event? - ✔✔Two events are

independent of each other if the occurrence of one does not affect the

probability of the other
