Cell Division Review

Where is DNA in the cell?

• nucleus
• mitochondria
• cell membrane
• cytoplasm

What is the purpose of DNA in the cell?

• to create energy
• to create proteins
• to create glucose
• to act as the brain of the cell

Cells of organism must replicate for

• growth 
• repair of damage cells
• replacement of dying cells
• All of the above

Before cells divide, what must be copied?

• mitochondria
• DNA
• Cytoplasm
• Cell Wall

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are 

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

The division of the nucleus is known as

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis 
• G1

The splitting of the cell is known as

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis 
• G1

During cell division, DNA is organized in structures called 

• Chromatin
• Centromeres
• Chromosomes
• Proteins

Humans have a total of ____ chromosomes

• 46
• 23
• 21
• None of the above
