BIOLOGY GRADE 8- QUARTER 4
Competency: Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell-division cycle (S8LT-IVd-16).
Explain the significance of meiosis in maintaining the chromosome number. (S8LT-IVe-17)
Name: _______________________________Grade and Section:____________Score: _______
MULTIPLE CHOICE: Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the
question.
1. While Mitosis is a cell division which occurs in all types of cells with the purpose of the asexual
reproduction or the negative growth, which of the following describes meiosis?
A. occurs as mitocytes, which supports the sexual reproduction by the gametogenesis.
B. as meiocytes, which supports the sexual reproduction by the gametogenesis.
C. Both mitosis and meiosis occurs in meiocytes, which supports the sexual and asexual
reproduction by gametogenesis.
D. Both mitosis and meiosis occurs in meiocytes, which supports the asexual reproduction.
2. Cells divide and reproduce by either mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter
cells, whereas meiosis results in ______sex cells.
A. One C. four
B. Three D.Five
3. Chromosomes are important participants in both meiosis and mitosis. Which of the following is
NOT true about meiosis?
A. Limited to germ cells.
B. Forms tetrad before its first division
C. Crossing over happens more frequently than in mitosis
D. Undergoes a reduction division during its second division.
4. In what way Mitosis and Meiosis differ in terms of number of chromosomes after cell division?
A. In mitosis, the number of chromosome remains the same while in meiosis, the chromosome
number is reduced to half.
B. In meiosis, the number of chromosome remains the same while in mitosis the chromosome
number is reduced to half.
C. The number of chromosome remains the same in mitosis and meiosis.
D. The number of chromosomes is reduced by half in mitosis and meiosis.

5. Given the above illustration, what are the steps required to complete the cycle of mitosis and
meiosis cell division?
A. Mitosis I ,II & Meiosis I C. Mitosis II & Meiosis I
B. Mitosis II & Meiosis I,II D. Mitosis I & Meiosis I, II
6. What are the end results of Mitosis and Meiosis in terms of daughter cells produced?
A. Mitosis ( two haploid daughter cells), Meiosis ( two diploid daughter cells)
B. Mitosis (two diploid daughter cells), Meiosis (two haploid daughter cells)
C. Mitosis ( two diploid daughter cells) , Meiosis ( four haploid daughter cells)
D. Mitosis ( two haploid daughter cells) Meiosis ( four haploid daughter cells)
7. Which of the following processes does not happen to Mitosis but takes place in Meiosis?
A. Synapsis and reduction process C. Synapsis and pairing of chromosome
B. Synapsis and crossing over D. Synapsis and nuclear division
8. Mitosis has one cell division, how about in Meiosis cell division?
A. 4 C. 1
B. 3 D. 2
9. Mitosis produces genetic clones. What is the genetic composition of the daughter cells
produced by meiosis?
A. Non- genetic clones C. A and B

B. genetically different cells D. none of these
10. What will happen to the resulting gamete when chromosomes pair failed to separate from each
other during Meiosis I?
A. acquires both members of a pair of chromosomes
B. does not acquire any pair of chromosomes
C. a piece of chromosomes breaks off and gets lost
D. Nothing happens to the gamete
11. What is the significance of reducing the number of chromosomes during Meiosis?
A. Maintains the chromosome number after fertilization.
B. Increases chromosome number after fertilization.
C. Decreases the chromosome number after fertilization.
D. All may happen at once
12. There are instances that a piece of chromosome breaks off and gets lost. If chromosomes
number 5 is lost, which of the following will happen?
A. a condition called Cri-du-chat syndrome will develop
B. the child will have the Down Syndrome.
C. Turner's syndrome will occur
D. either of these disorders may happen simultaneously to an individual.
13. Which of the following can be a possible effect on the organism if there is a change in the
number of chromosomes?
A. the individual may suffer from Down Syndrome or Cri du chat syndrome
B. Negligible problems on the growth and development of body’s system arise.
C. No effect at all
D. Nothing will happen
Study the illustration below and answer questions 14-15.


14. Which of the following is the importance of crossing over during Meiosis?
A. paired chromosomes from each parent align so that dissimilar DNA sequences from the
paired chromosomes cross over one another.
B. paired chromosomes from each parent separate so that similar DNA sequences from the
paired chromosomes cross over one another.
C. paired chromosomes from each parent align so that similar DNA sequences from the paired
chromosomes cross over one another.
D. paired chromosomes from each parent align so that similar DNA sequences from the paired
chromosomes cross over one another.
15. What will happen if Meiosis will not take place?
A. the chromosome number of body cells will be the same in each generation
B. the chromosome number of body cells will double in each generation
C. No changes in the chromosome number of body cells in each generation
D. All these may happen in each generation
II. Write CORRECT if the statement is true and INCORRECT if the statement is false.
1. Daughter cells produced by meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct while daughter cells in
mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.
2. In mitosis, the pairing of chromosomes occurs during zygotene of prophase I until metaphase I while
in meiosis, the pairing of chromosomes does not occur.
3. The genetic identity in daughter cells remains the same even after the mitotic division while in
meiosis, genetic variation is noticeable after.
4. Meiosis is important because it ensures that organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the
original number of chromosomes.
5. Meiosis is important for three main reasons: it allows sexual reproduction of diploid organisms, it
enables genetic diversity, and aids the repair of genetic defects.
