About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers the cell cycle and mitosis, making it appropriate for grades 9-10 high school biology students. The questions assess students' understanding of interphase phases (G1, S, G2, G0), mitotic phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), and cytokinesis, along with cell cycle regulation through checkpoints and the connection between cell cycle dysfunction and cancer. Students need to demonstrate mastery of chromosome behavior during division, including the roles of sister chromatids, centromeres, and spindle fibers, as well as understand cellular structures like centrioles. The quiz requires students to analyze visual representations of mitotic phases, apply knowledge of cell cycle checkpoints and their regulatory functions, and connect abnormal cell division to disease states. Students must also understand the relationship between DNA replication in S phase and proper chromosome distribution, the concept of programmed cell death (apoptosis), and how cells exit the normal cycle into G0 phase. Created by Mallory Thompson, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-10. This comprehensive review quiz supports instruction by providing formative assessment opportunities before a unit test, allowing students to identify knowledge gaps in cell cycle concepts. Teachers can use this as a pre-assessment warm-up to gauge student understanding, assign it as homework for independent practice, or implement it as a review session to reinforce key concepts before summative evaluation. The variety of question types, from basic vocabulary to application scenarios involving cancer biology, makes it versatile for differentiated instruction and can help teachers identify which students need additional support with specific concepts like checkpoint regulation or mitotic phase identification. This assessment aligns with NGSS standards HS-LS1-4 (cell cycle regulation and cancer) and supports Common Core literacy standards in science through complex text analysis and evidence-based reasoning about cellular processes.

Cells typically respond to DNA damage in three ways: by ceasing to grow and divide until the damage is repaired, by permanently ceasing to grow and divide, or by dying. In 2010 a group of scientists reported that a certain kind of immune reaction can cause DNA damage that leads to a fourth response. DNA damage can turn off genes involved in cell-signaling pathways. Turning off these genes can cause less-mature cells to divide too rapidly, often leading to the development of —
tumors
allergies
hemophilia
cardiovascular disease

Leukemia is cancer of the body’s blood-forming tissues. A leukemia patient’s bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells which do not function properly. A pharmacology company is trying to develop drugs to regulate the production of abnormal white blood cells.Which of the following processes is most likely affected by this new drug?
Cellular respiration
Transport of molecules
cellular differentiation
cell division

During the cell cycle, normal cells exit the G1 phase and enter the G0 phase where they rest. Typically, cells will reenter the cycle at G1 prior to going on to S phase. However, abnormal cells such as cancer cells may not be allowed to enter the G0 phase to rest.
As a result, these cells will most likely —
mutate during G2 phase
continuously repeat the cell cycle
die after DNA replication
fail to complete mitosis
