Cell Division Quick Review

Multiple Choice

In the cell cycle, which of the following represents the correct order of the M phase (mitosis)?

• I, IV, II, III

• IV, III, II, I

• II, I, IV, III

• IV, II, III, I

Multiple Choice

Mitosis and meiosis are both processes involved in reproduction. Which statement correctly compares mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis and meiosis both produce genetic variation in their daughter cells.

• Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells, and meiosis produces four non-identical haploid cells.

• Mitosis and meiosis are both divided into only 4 distinct phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and interphase.

• Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells and meiosis produces four genetically identical haploid cells.

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the process illustrated in the diagram shown?

• Nondisjunction occurs during segregation, resulting in a chromosomal mutation

• Crossing-over occurs during synapsis, leading to increased variation

• Exposure to mutagenic agents causes gene linkage in non-homologous chromosomes

• Inbreeding causes random breakage and recombination of chromosome parts
