Cell Cycle ACP Lesson recap P1/2

Multiple Choice

What happens right after Mitosis?

• G2

• Synthesis

• Cytokinesis

Multiple Choice

Is interphase a part of Mitosis?

• Yes, it happens after prophase

• No, it happens before mitosis

Multiple Choice

What is the correct order of the phases of mitosis?

• Metaphase, Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase,

• Pelophase, Motophase, Anaphase, Trophase

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Telophase, Anaphase, Prophase, Metaphase

Multiple Choice

The chemical colchicine is used in the production of karyotypes. Colchicine prevents spindle fibers from forming during the cell cycle. What is a result of preventing spindle fibers from forming?

• The cell cycle skips G₀ phase and repeats G₁ phase.

• Mitotic division is skipped, and the cell cycle proceeds to cytokinesis.

• Mitotic division stops in metaphase and cannot proceed to anaphase.

• The cell cycle skips S phase and proceeds to G₂ phase.

Multiple Choice

Cells spend most of their lives in which phase?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

Multiple Choice

Cells pass through a G₂ checkpoint before entering mitosis. Ideally, if DNA damage is detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired. Why is DNA damage repaired before cells enter mitosis?

• So that another round of DNA synthesis does not have to take place.

• So that the chromosomes can align at the metaphase plate during mitosis.

• So that the cytoplasm can be divided equally between the two daughter cells.

• So that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing.
