DNA/Mitosis/Cell Transport

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

The purpose of mitosis is to produce copies of cells that are identical to the parent cell.

Front

If a parent cell has eight chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?

Back

Each daughter cell will have eight chromosomes.

Front

What is a semi-permeable membrane?

Back

A semi-permeable membrane allows certain substances like water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose to pass through while blocking others.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What indicates that cell division is functioning properly?

Back

Cell division with checkpoints functioning properly ensures that the cell cycle progresses correctly.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What are the stages of mitosis?

Back

The stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle monitor and regulate the progression of the cell cycle, ensuring that cells do not divide uncontrollably.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (2n).

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane protects the cell and regulates what enters and exits the cell.
