Mitosis

Chromosomes begin to lengthen and return to chromatin and the nuclear envelope begins to reform. The cleavage furrow begins to form between the two new daughter cells. These statements are describing which phase of mitosis.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

During what phase of mitosis do sister chromatids attached at the centromere first separate from one another as they begin to move toward the cell poles?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

A single mitotic division of a human skin cell general produces:

• 2 cells, each with 1 complete diploid set of chromosomes

• 2 cells, each with 1 complete haploid set of chromosomes.

• 4 cells, each with 1 complete diploid set of chromosomes.

• 4 cells, each with 1 complete haploid set of chromosomes

The mid-point protein at which two sister chromatids are joined that attaches to the spindle fiber during mitosis is known as a:

• a. Chromatin

• b. Chromosome

• c. Centriole

• d. Centromere

Chromosomes begin to line up on the equator (middle) of the cell to help organize cell division during:

• a. Prophase

• b. Metaphase

• c. Anaphase

• d. Telophase

During which phase of mitosis does chromatin begin to condense to form chromosomes as the nuclear membrane also begins to dissolve?

• a. Prophase

• b. Metaphase

• c. Anaphase

• d. Telophase

Which of the following is true regarding interphase?

• a. The cell is growing and preparing for cell division.

• b. The cell is resting after mitosis and will enter mitosis again before it grows and replicates chromosomes.

• c. The cell works to replicate chromosomes and must double the amount of chromosomes before the cell is allowed to enter mitosis.

• d. Both A and C

The final division of the cell is completed in the process known as:

• a. Interphase

• b. Mitosis

• c. Telophase

• d. Cytokinesis

Mitosis can best be described as:

• a. Complete cell division

• b. Replication of chromatin

• c. Nuclear Division

• d. Cell Organelle Replication

DNA that is not condensed and found in the cell during interphase is known as:

• a. Chromatin

• b. Chromosomes

• c. Sister Chromatids

• d. DNA
