BS Bio - Final Review 2 - The Cell Cycle

As a cell grows, it

• places more demand on its DNA

• uses up food and oxygen more quickly

• all of the above

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

• cell division

• metaphase

• interphase

Which of the following happens when a cell divides?

• the cells volume increases

• it becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients

• each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parents cells DNA

When during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?

• only during interphase

• only when they are being replicated

• only during cell division

Which of the following is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

• interphase

• cell division

• s phase

Which pair is correct?

• G1 and DNA replication

• G2 and preparation for mitosis

• S phase and cell division

The cell cycle is the

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

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

• time form prophase until cytonkinesis

Which of the following represents the phases of mitosis in their proper sequence?

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• interphase, prophase metaphase, telophase

What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?

• it helps separate the chromosomes

• it breaks down the nuclear membrane

• it duplicates the DNA

The two main stages of cell division are called

• mitosis and cytokinesis

• synthesis an cytokinesis

• M phase and S phase
