Cell Cycle

Which diagram is metaphase?

• A
• E
• C
• F

Which phase comes NEXT?

• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase
• telophase

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.
• different from the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have -

• 16 chromosomes.
• 46 chromosomes.
• 8 chromosomes.
• 4 chromosomes.

Which of these must occur during the S phase of the cell cycle so that two daughter cells can be produced during the Mitosis phase?

• the DNA must be replicated
• the chromosomes must be joined
• the cytoplasm must be separated
• the cell membrane must be split

What is the main stage in which the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and duplicates its DNA

• cytokinesis
• meiosis
• interphase
• mitosis

Checkpoints occur between the stages of the cell cycle. if a cell does not meet certain criteria at the end of a stage, it will not move to the next stage. Which occurs just before the cell enters the G2 stage of the cell cycle?

• nuclear membrane dissolves
• centrioles form
• DNA replicates
• the nucleus divides

The stage where chromosomes condense and the nucleus becomes visible

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telephase

Scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries. This bioengineered tissue is grown from living cells. The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is -

• conjugation
• meiosis
• budding
• mitosis

We are the opposite sides of the cell

• poles
• centromere
• chromosome
• equator
