The Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Multiple Choice

What is Interphase?

• structure that holds the sister chromatids together.

• the phase of the cell cycle in which the nucleus and its contents divide.

• the phase in which the cytoplasm and its contents divide.

• the period during the cell cycle of a cell’s growth and development.

Multiple Choice

What are the three stages of interphase?

• Prophase, metaphase, telophase

• G1, S, and G2

• G2, S, and G3

• Prophase, G1, and S

Multiple Choice

What is a Centromere?

• structure that holds the sister chromatids together.

• the phase of the cell cycle in which the nucleus and its contents divide.

• the phase in which the cytoplasm and its contents divide.

• the period during the cell cycle of a cell’s growth and development.

Multiple Choice

Why is the cell cycle so important?

• because it helps for growth and develop

• because it replaces cells that are old or damaged

• because it produces new cells

• All of the above
