Significance of Meiosis

Q.

Where in the body does meiosis occur?

Q.

Where do meiosis and mitosis occur?

Q. Polymorphism arises due to

1. Mutation
2. Allelic exclusion
3. Evolution
4. Genetic diversity

Q.

How many sperms and ova will be formed by a primary spermatocyte and a primary oocyte?

Q. Assertion: During meiotic cell division, the chromosome content of the daughter cells is halved by the end of meiosis I itself. Yet, meiosis II is essential for generation of haploid cells.
Reason: During meiosis II, the duplicated sister chromatids separate from each other and are distributed into the haploid daughter cells.

1. Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
2. Both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion
3. The assertion is true but the reason is false
4. The assertion is false but the reason is true
