Mitosis Review

As a cell becomes larger, its

• surface area increases slower than volume

• volume increases slower than surface area

• volume increases, but its surface area stays the same.

• surface area stays the same, but its volume increases.

As a cell grows, it

• places more demands on its DNA.

• uses up food and oxygen more quickly.

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

• all of these

The larger a cell gets, the more trouble it has

• dividing

• producing daughter cells

• moving needed materials in and waste products out.

• making copies of their DNA.

The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called

• cell division.

• metaphase

• interphase

• meiosis

Which event occurs during interphase?

• The cell grows.

• Centrioles appear.

• Spindle fibers begin to form.

• Centromeres divide.

Cell division is represented by the letter

• A

• B

• C

• D

The cell cycle is the

• series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.

• period of time between the birth and the death of a cell.

• time from prophase until cytokinesis.

• time it takes for one cell to undergo mitosis.

Which of the following is a phase of mitosis?

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• prophase

• S phase

The first phase of mitosis is called

• prophase

• anaphase

• metaphase

• interphase

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

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase
