    This document contains a worksheet on reproduction and meiosis. It includes true/false questions, passages on meiosis and its phases, and matching, vocabulary, and short answer questions. Meiosis is the process that produces haploid gametes and involves two cell divisions resulting in four haploid cells. The key differences between meiosis I and II are that in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate, while in meiosis II sister chromatids separate.

    Worksheet – Reproduction and Meiosis

    PART 1 – True False


    Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false.
    1. The basic types of reproduction are asexual reproduction, binary reproduction and sexual reproduction.
    2. Sexual reproduction always involves two parents.
    3. Asexual reproduction always involves two parents.
    4. Meiosis starts with one cell and ends with four.
    5. “Crossing-over” can occur in meiosis I but not meiosis II.
    6. Prokaryotes go through meiosis I and eukaryotes go through meiosis II.
    7. A zygote is the first cell of a new organism.
    8. Meiosis I and mitosis are very similar.
    9. In humans, a gamete will have 23 chromosomes.
    10. In binary fission, parent and offspring are identical.
    11. In sexual reproduction, parents and offspring are never identical.
    12. Gametes are diploid, a zygote is haploid.
    13. Egg and sperm are diploid gametes.
    14. Meiosis is involved in the production of gametes.
    15. Starfish can reproduce by fragmentation - that is, a whole new fish can grow from just a single arm.

    PART 2 – Reading Review


    Read these passages below and answer the questions that follow.
    Meiosis
    The process that produces haploid gametes is meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division in which the number of
    chromosomes is reduced by half. It occurs only in certain special cells of the organisms. During meiosis, homologous
    chromosomes separate, and the haploid cells that form have only one chromosome from each pair. Two cell divisions
    occur during meiosis, and a total of four haploid cells are produced. The two cell divisions are called meiosis I and
    meiosis II.
    Phases of Meiosis
    Meiosis I begins after DNA replicates during interphase. In both meiosis I and meiosis II, cells go through the same four
    phases as mitosis. However, there are important differences between meiosis I and mitosis.
    Meiosis I
    1. Prophase I: The nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the chromosomes condense. Centrioles start moving
    to opposite poles of the cell, and a spindle begins to form. Importantly, homologous chromosomes pair up, which is
    unique to prophase I. In prophase of mitosis and meiosis II, homologous chromosomes do not form pairs in this way.
    2. Metaphase I: Spindle fibers attach to the paired homologous chromosomes. The paired chromosomes line up along
    the equator of the cell. This occurs only in metaphase I. In metaphase of mitosis and meiosis II, it is sister chromatids
    that line up along the equator of the cell.
    3. Anaphase I: Spindle fibers shorten, and the chromosomes of each homologous pair start to separate from each other.
    One chromosome of each pair moves toward one pole of the cell, and the other chromosome moves toward the
    opposite pole.
    4. Telophase I and Cytokinesis: The spindle breaks down, and new nuclear membranes form. The cytoplasm of the
    cell divides, and two haploid daughter cells result. The daughter cells each have a random assortment of
    chromosomes, with one from each homologous pair. Both daughter cells go on to meiosis II.

    Meiosis II
    1. Prophase II: The nuclear envelope breaks down and the spindle begins to form in each haploid daughter cell from
    meiosis I. The centrioles also start to separate.
    2. Metaphase II: Spindle fibers line up the sister chromatids of each chromosome along the equator of the cell.
    3. Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
    4. Telophase II and Cytokinesis: The spindle breaks down, and new nuclear membranes form. The cytoplasm of each
    cell divides, and four haploid cells result. Each cell has a unique combination of chromosomes.
    Questions
    1. Define meiosis.

    2. Is the DNA replicated after meiosis I? Why or why not?

    3. Describe the main difference between metaphase I and metaphase II.

    4. Identify the phase where each of the following processes occurs: (a) sister chromatids separate, (b) homologous
    chromosomes form pairs, (c) two haploid cells form.
    a. b. c.
    5. What is the final product of meiosis?

    PART 3 – Matching

    PART 4 – Vocabulary Review


    Fil l in the blank with the appropriate term.

    1. When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, and different
    chromosomes segregate of each other.
    2. Crossing-over is the exchange of between homologous chromosomes.

    3. A human egg cell has chromosomes.

    4. Binary fission, and are types of asexual reproduction.

    5. Meiosis is a type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.

    6. A human zygote has chromosomes.

    7. Meiosis begins with one cell, and ends with cells.

    8. Male gametes are called , and female gametes are a(n) .

    9. During , spindle fibers attach to the paired homologous chromosomes.


    10. Sexual reproduction involves parents.
