Cell Cycle Lesson

Cell Cycle

Multiple Choice

Why is DNA important?

• it is very small and very complicated
• it's in everything
• it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things
• because we eat it every day for energy

Multiple Choice

In eukaryotes, which organelle is DNA usually found in?

• cell membrane

• vacuole

• chloroplast

• nucleus

Multiple Choice

Where does a cell contain it's genetic material?

• nucleus
• nucleolus
• cytoskeleton
• golgi

Multiple Choice

When DNA is in its less coiled, "relaxed," state, between cell divisions, it is called

• autosomes
• chromatid
• chromatin
• centromere

Multiple Choice

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

• Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue

• To help the body get rid of extra cells

• To increase the amount of classwork you have to do

• To get rid of the nucleus

Multiple Choice

The individual strands on duplicated chromosomes are called_____________

• Centromeres
• daughters
• Chromatids
• Karyotypes

Multiple Choice

A human cell has 46 chromosomes before mitotic division.  How many chromosomes will the daughter cells after mitosis.

• 12
• 23
• 46
• 92

Multiple Choice

Cells of organism must replicate for ?

• growth
• repair of damaged cells
• replacement of dying cells.
• All of the above

Multiple Choice

What is the cell cycle?

• The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
• The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
• The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Multiple Choice

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Prophase
• Cytokinesis

Multiple Choice

What happens in the first part of Interphase?

• Mitosis
• Cell Growth
• DNA Replication
• Anaphase

Multiple Choice

What phase is shown here?

• G1

• S

• Prophase

• Anaphase

Multiple Choice

What happens during the S phase?

• A checkpoint over the connection of the spindle fibers
• The cell grows
• DNA is replicated
• The cell enters the G0 phase

Multiple Choice

In which stage of the cell cycle does the cell grow in size?

• G₁

• S

• G₂

• Mitosis

Multiple Choice

What stage of the cell cycle follows S phase?

• G1
• G2
• M
• Cytokinesis

Multiple Select

Select all stages of interphase?

• G₁

• S

• G₂

• Mitosis
