II. Completion (15 Points)

Directions: Read the paragraph carefully and identify the correct words that fit in the given sentences
in the box below. Any form of erasure is not acceptable.

The Meiosis

Meiosis is responsible for the formation of (21) _______________ that are responsible
for sexual reproduction. This process takes place on the human reproductive organs – (22.)
__________ for male and (23.) ________ for female. It activates the (24)_______________
information for the development of sex cells. It maintains the constant number of (25)
_______________by halving the same. In the beginning of Meiosis I, (26.) _____________
chromosomes pair with each other in a process called (27.) to form tetrads. While in a process
called (27.) ______________, segments of DNA called (28.) __________ are switching to
create variations in the genes. This variation in the genes helps increase the genetic (29.)
____________ of the population of organisms that results to their different traits and (30.)
_______________. In the beginning of Meiosis II, (31.) ___________ will no longer takes place.
But because of some irregularities, genetic (32.) _____________ happens as the cell division
happens. After successfully completing Meiosis I and II, there will be (33) _________ daughter
cells formed that are all (34.) ___________ from each other. Unlike meiosis, mitosis always
produces (35.) ___________ diploid cells.

 III. Modified True or False (15 points)
Directions: Classify if the following statements are TRUE by putting a check (✓) on the TRUE COLUMN
and an (X) on the FALSE COLUMN if the statement is FALSE based on the highlighted word. Then
write the word that will make the statement true on the last column.

No. Statement True False Correct Term

Exocytosis is the reverse process where a
36. membrane- bound vesicle filled with bulky materials
moves to the plasma membrane and fuses with it.
Large molecules enter the cell by generalized non-
37.
selective process known as osmosis.
Meiosis switches on the nucleosomes for the
38.
development of gametes.
Secondary active transport uses energy usually
39.
through ATP hydrolysis.
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion specifically
40.
associated with the movement of salt molecules.
Specialized cell called a bacterial cell splits in
41.
meiosis creating new sex cells.
Passive transport is a process requires energy for
42.
molecules to pass through the plasma membrane.
Meiosis ensures that the number of chromosomes of
43.
the parent cell is identical to its two daughter cells.
Active transport is the movement of molecules from
44.
region of low concentration to high concentration.
Tetrads are formed after the pairing of two identical
45.
chromosomes.
Primary active transport relies on primary active
46. transport, it requires energy and moves against a
concentration gradient.
Simple diffusion allows polar molecules such as
47. oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to pass
directly on the membrane.
48. Crossing-over takes place in the prophase II.
49. An ATP is any imbalance in the concentration.
Meiosis is specifically important to sexually
50.
reproducing organisms.
