Module 9 Exam

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Back

In plant cells, a cell plate forms to separate the two daughter cells, while in animal cells, a furrow forms.

Front

What is the end product of meiosis?

Back

Meiosis results in four genetically unique daughter cells.

Front

What happens during telophase of mitosis?

Back

During telophase, chromosomes begin to uncoil, the nuclear envelope reforms, and spindle fibers break down.

Front

What is the genetic relationship of daughter cells produced by mitosis?

Back

The daughter cells produced via mitosis are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.

Front

What are aster fibers?

Back

Aster fibers are part of the spindle apparatus that help in the movement of chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the role of the spindle apparatus?

Back

The spindle apparatus is responsible for separating chromosomes during cell division.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What is a cell plate?

Back

A cell plate is a structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells, leading to the separation of the two daughter cells.
