Concept Check Questions Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid Using the concept of chromosome sets, explain briefly how mitosis conserves chromosome number, whereas meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half.

Concept Check Questions Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid How are the chromosomes in a cell at metaphase of mitosis similar to and different from the chromosomes in a cell at metaphase of meiosis II?
Concept Check Questions Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid How are the chromosomes in a cell at metaphase of mitosis similar to and different from the chromosomes in a cell at metaphase of meiosis II? Twice as many, otherwise identical
Concept Check Questions Genetic variation produced in sexual life cycles contributes to evolution Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. Assuming no crossing over, is the genetic variation among offspring from the same two parents likely to be greater in fruit flies or in honeybees? Explain.
