Multiple Choice

You get a paper cut on your finger. Which cell process will your skin cells undergo to heal your cut?

• mitosis

• exocytosis

• sexual reproduction

• meiosis

Multiple Choice

After cell division, new cells are referred to as

• sex cells

• daughter cells

• twin cells

• brother cells

Multiple Choice

What cell activities occur during interphase?

• The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and begin to pull apart.

• the cell grows, makes a copy of its DNA, and prepares to divide.

• The cell's nucleus divides and the cell splits.

• The cytoplasm divides and the cell membrane pinches together.

Multiple Choice

Arrange the phases of mitosis in the correct order for the list Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase.

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase

• Metaphase, Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Anaphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase

Multiple Choice

What stage of mitosis is the following cell in?

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

Multiple Choice

Which process is shown in the diagram?

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

• Mutation

• Fertilization

Multiple Choice

Select the correct form of reproduction for the statement: Reproduces using mitosis.

• Asexual

• Sexual

Multiple Choice

Select the correct form of reproduction for the statement: Creates 4 daughter cells.

• Asexual

• Sexual

Multiple Choice

Select the correct form of reproduction for the statement: Offspring is genetically different than both parents.

• Asexual

• Sexual

Multiple Choice

Select the correct form of reproduction for the statement: Creates gametes.

• Asexual

• Sexual

Multiple Choice

Select the option that accurately completes the statement about how genetic information is transferred when meiosis produces male gametes: Meiosis creates ____ that have ____.

• two daughter cells; identical genetic information to the parent cells

• two daughter cells; half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells

• four daughter cells; identical genetic information to the parent cells

• four daughter cells; half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells

Multiple Choice

Meiosis results in genetic variability within a species. Which process is likely responsible for this?

• replication of genetic material in parent cells

• exchange of genetic material between chromosomes

• formation of two daughter cells with their own chromosomes

• reduction of chromosomes in the parent cells

Multiple Choice

A female baby chipmunk has 38 chromosomes. How many chromosomes does the baby chipmunk inherit from its mother, and why?

• 40 chromosomes; babies require extra chromosomes.

• 38 chromosomes; the baby is also female.

• 19 chromosomes; one-half of the genetic material in babies comes from the mother.

• 2 chromosomes; genetic material in the baby replicates over time.

Multiple Choice

A student looks at the daughter cells that result from a process of cell division. Which evidence would support that the process is meiosis?

• The daughter cells are larger than the parent cell.

• The daughter cells are the same size as the parent cell.

• The genetic material in the daughter cells is the same as in the parent cell.

• The genetic material in the daughter cells is different than in the parent cell.
