AP Biology Mitosis and Meiosis Quiz

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.

Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about the events of the cell cycle?

• Interphase is usually the longest phase
• DNA replicates during the S phase
• Cell
• The cell grows during the S phase

How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in G1 of the cell cycle?

• The daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of
  DNA.
• The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the same amount
  of DNA.
• The daughter cells have half the amount of cytoplasm and half the amount of
  DNA.
• The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of
  DNA.
