The end result of mitosis is

Two new nuclei that have the same number of chromosomes

Four new nuclei that have the same number of chromosomes

Two new nuclei that 1/2 the number of chromosomes

Four new nuclei that 1/2 the number of chromosomes

Which correctly identifies the phases of mitosis in order?

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase, Metaphase

Telophase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase

Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase

What are growth factors?

Proteins that stimulate cell division.

Nutrients that give you energy.

What is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor?

Benign tumors do NOT spread; malignant tumors do spread

Malignant tumors do NOT spread; benign tumors do spread.

Which of the following is true about mitosis?

mitosis plays a vital role in an organism's growth

mitosis plays a vital role in sexual reproduction

during the process of mitosis, haploid cells are created

during the process of mitosis, new organisms are created

During a cell's development, it differentiates. How does differentiation occur?

certain genes are turned on and other are turned off; this action produces adult cells that are specialized

a developing cell receives hormonal messages from endocrine glands that instruct the cell's chromosomes

a developing cell's function is determined by the number of organelles it contains

as a cell mature, genes that are not necessary to its function are ejected out of the cell through active transport

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce

Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce

Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce

What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?

Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce

Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

Asexual reproduction can reproduce which offspring?

Both diverse and uniform offspring

undifferentiated and can be many types of cell

What does "pluripotent" mean?

able to divide and make many different types of cells

can only divide and make one cell type

if it divides, it will make a cancerous tumor

What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells

Adult stem cells are pluripotent, just like embryonic stem cells

Adult stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than embryonic stem cells

Adult stem cells grow bigger than embryonic stem cells

Which is true about Adult Stem Cells.

They are limited to the type of cell they can become.

They no longer do mitosis, their cell type is set and can not change

They can become any cell type in the body

About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers cell growth and division, focusing on mitosis, the cell cycle, and cellular reproduction for high school biology students at the 9th-10th grade level. The questions assess students' understanding of fundamental concepts including the phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase), the structure and function of cellular components like chromosomes and centromeres, and the distinction between sexual and asexual reproduction. Students need to demonstrate knowledge of interphase as the longest phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs, understand how surface area to volume ratios affect cellular function, and recognize the role of contact inhibition in normal cell division. Advanced topics include cell differentiation, stem cell potency levels, cancer as uncontrolled cell division, apoptosis, and the regulatory proteins like cyclins that control the cell cycle. Created by Danielle Bonanno, a Biology teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-10. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, from formative assessment during initial instruction to summative evaluation of student mastery. Teachers can use individual questions as warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge, assign sections as homework to reinforce specific concepts like mitosis phases or reproduction types, or deploy the entire quiz as a chapter review before major examinations. The varied question formats and visual diagram references make it particularly effective for differentiating instruction and accommodating diverse learning styles. This quiz aligns with Next Generation Science Standards HS-LS1-4 (cellular division and differentiation) and supports Common Core literacy standards in science through its integration of text analysis and scientific reasoning.
