    This document contains a 6 question quiz on meiosis. Meiosis results in gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell and contributes to genetic variation. A cell with 12 chromosomes that undergoes meiosis will produce 4 cells with 6 chromosomes each. Non-disjunction of chromosomes during meiosis can result in conditions like Down syndrome. Meiosis involves two rounds of division while mitosis only involves one, leading to differences in chromosome behavior between the two processes.
