AP Cell Division and Meiosis

All of the following are problems that growth causes for cells EXCEPT

• expelling wastes.
• obtaining enough food.
• excess oxygen.
• DNA overload.

Which of the following happens when a cell divides?

• Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell’s DNA.
• The cell has DNA overload.
• It becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients.
• The cell’s volume increases.

When during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?

• only when they are being replicated
• only during interphase
• only during cell division
• only during the G1 phase

Which event occurs during interphase?

• Centrioles appear.
• Spindle fibers begin to form.
• The cell grows.
• Centromeres divide.

The cell cycle is the

• period of time between the birth and the death of a cell.
• time from prophase until cytokinesis.
• series of events that cells go through as they grow and
  divide.
• time it takes for one cell to undergo mitosis.

What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?

• It divides the cell in half.
• It duplicates the DNA.
• It breaks down the nuclear membrane.
• It helps separate the chromosomes.
