Cell cycle questions

What is one major difference between mitosis and meiosis

• Meiosis only involves body cells and mitosis only involves sex cells

• Mitosis has many more steps than meiosis

• In mitosis, twice as many daughter cells are formed

• In mitosis, the daughter cells are identical to the mother cell and in meiosis, the daughter cells are not

In the life cycle of the cell, the longest phase during which the cell grows is known as -

• anaphase

• telophase

• interphase

• prophase

What is the purpose of meiosis

• to make cells that are identical to the parent cells

• to make reproductive cells carrying half of the parent’s genetic information

• to make new cells for growth and repair

• to make stem cells that can change into numerous different cells

Which of the following are correct statements concerning the cell cycle

• Meiosis produces cells that are identical to the parent cell.

• The cell prepares for cell division during interphase.

• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are all phases in mitosis.

• The phases of the cell cycle include interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

• The final division in mitosis results in cells with half the genetic material of the parent.
