Mitosis and meiosis are similar because ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Mitosis and meiosis are different because ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________

SOL Practice: 1. Which of these does not occur during meiosis? A. production of identical gametes B. production of new gene combinations C. crossing-over of homologous chromosomes D. reduction of chromosome number by one-half 2. Mitosis and meiosis are similar because A. Crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs in both B. They both produce haploid cells C. They are both involved in sexual reproduction D. DNA must be copied before both 3. Which of the following is produced by mitosis? A. gametes B. somatic (body) cells C. sperm cells D. egg cells 4. Meiosis is the process by which gametes are produced. In which of the following human organs does meiosis occur? A. Skin B. Pancreas C. Liver D. Testis

W ORD ART: The word art below is to help you remember that mitosis occurs in body cells and makes identical cells. Create your own word art for meiosis!

5. The processes of meiosis and fertilization help ensure the survival of the species by providing each generation with the same number of A. chromosomes B. offspring C. gametes D. body cells 6. Meiosis is the process by which gametes are produced. In which of the following human organs does meiosis occur? A. Ovary B. Heart C. Brain D. Intestine Clean-up: Mix up the cards and put them back in the bag!

STATION 2 Directions: 1. Match the vocabulary words with their correct definition 2. Have your teacher check your cards to make sure your matches are correct! 3. Use the vocabulary terms to fill in the blanks below: Types of Reproduction Bacteria, or prokaryotes, reproduce using _____________________ _____________________. In this type of reproduction, there is only one parent and all the offspring are genetically identical, or clones of one another. This type of reproduction is very efficient, but it is also very risky because they all have the same immune system, one disease could wipe them all out! Most living things use _________________________ ________________________________. In this type reproduction, each parent contributes half of their DNA to the offspring. The process of _____________________ is used to make __________________, or sex cells, that only have half of the DNA. Because these cells only have half the DNA, we say that they are _____________________. ____________ are the male gamete and are produced in the testes. ______________ are the female gamete and are produced in the ovaries. The egg and sperm meet in a process called _______________________. When they fuse (join together) they form a single cell called a _______________________ that has all the DNA necessary to create a new organism! Because this cell has two sets of DNA one from the mother and one from the father we say that it is _________________. The zygote can then divide using __________________ to make more _________________ (body) cells in order to grow into a fetus, and eventually a baby. SOL Practice:
1. Which of these is produced as a result of fertilization? A. a zygote with twice the number of chromosomes as a gamete B. an egg with half the number of chromosomes as a zygote C. a gamete with twice the number of chromosomes as a zygote D. a zygote with half the number of chromosomes as a gamete. 2. Sea stars are genetically different from each other and from their parents. These genetic differences are the result of which of the following? A. mitosis B. cloning C. asexual reproduction D. sexual reproduction 3. Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of A. 4N cells. B. 1N cells. C. 2N cells. D. body cells.

4. Choose all that apply: Which process is responsible for ensuring that you will never appear on the Earth again? A. Mitosis B. Asexual reproduction C. Crossing over D. Sexual reproduction E. Meiosis 5. Which of the following is the first step of Meiosis? A. Prophase B. Prophase I C. Prophase II D. Interphase E. Interphase I F. Interphase II 6. Zygotes contain ___________ chromosomes.
