Chapter 9, 10.1 Quiz

During which phase(s) of mitosis are chromosomes visible?

• anaphase and prophase

• prophase and metaphase

• metaphase only

• anaphase and interphase

As a cell grows, it:

• places more demands on the DNA.

• uses up food and oxygen more quickly.

• has more trouble moving enough materials across its cell membrane.

• Actually, all of the choices are choice.

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Anaphase

When, during the cell cycle, are chomosomes visible?

• only during interphase

• only when they are being replicated

• only during cell division

• only during the G1 phase

Which pair is correct?

• G1 phase, DNA replication

• G2 phase, preparation for Mitosis

• S phase, cell division

• M phase, cell growth

Which event occurs during interphase?

• the cell grows

• centrioles appear

• spindle fibers begin to form

• centromeres divide

One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have:

• centrioles

• centromeres

• cell plates

• chromatin

What is the role of the spindle during Mitosis?

• It helps separate the chromosomes.

• It breaks down the nuclear membrane.

• It duplicates the DNA.

• It divides the cell in half.

What are the parts of Interphase?

• G1, G2, M

• G1, S, G2, M

• Only M

• G1, S, G2

Cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their:

• size

• spindle fibers

• growth rate

• surface area
