b. 48 chromosomes.

c. 12 pairs of chromosomes.

d. 36 pairs of chromosomes.

e. 6 pairs of chromosomes.

When the centromeres divide and chromosomes begin to migrate, the mitotic stage is called:

a. Interphase.

b. Telophase.

c. Metaphase.

d. Anaphase.

e. Profase.

Which of the following is true of daughter cells of meiosis I, but not true of daughter cells of mitosis?
a. Chromosomes have previously migrated to opposite poles.

b. DNA from the original cell has been equally divided.

c. Homologous chromosomes have been separated.

d. The cytoplasm of the original cell has divided.

e. All of the above are true of both processes.

Which of the above does NOT normally happen to homologs during meiosis?
Some gene exchange occurs.
Eventually, the homologs end up in different cells.
The separation of one pair of homologs is independent.
