Mitosis and Meiosis Post- Test Name _____________________________
SC.912.L.16.17 Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and relate to the
processes of sexual and asexual reproduction and their consequences for genetic
variation.
1. Which of the following best compares the processes of mitosis and meiosis?
A. Mitosis involves one division cycle and results in diploid daughter cells, while
meiosis consists of two division cycles and results in haploid gametes.
B. Mitosis involves one division cycle and results in haploid gametes, while
meiosis consists of two division cycles and results in diploid daughter cells.
C. Mitosis involves two division cycles and results in diploid daughter cells,
while meiosis consists of one division cycle and results in haploid gametes.
D. Mitosis involves two division cycles and results in haploid gametes, while
meiosis consists of one division cycle and results in diploid daughter cells.
2. Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the
following describes an event that results from mitosis but NOT meiosis?
A. two stages of cell division
B. replication of cellular genetic material
C. daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
D. four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell
3. Which type of reproduction leads to increased genetic variation in a population?
A. parthenogenesis
B. asexual reproduction
C. sexual reproduction
D. vegetative reproduction
