Mitosis Practice

Multicellular organisms are able to develop into full grown adults from a single cell because of the process of –

• cellular division

• photosynthesis

• cellular respiration

• recombination

Before DNA replication can occur, the double-stranded DNA must first –

• be transcribed into RNA

• be translated into amino acids

• replace deoxyribose with ribose sugars

• separate between the nitrogen bases

Which stage of the cell cycle is associated with the replication of DNA?

• gap stage

• resting phase

• synthesis stage

• mitosis

The replication of DNA occurs inside what organelle?

• lysosome

• nucleus

• ribosome

• vacuole

What normally occurs during the two gap stages (G₁ and G₂) of interphase?

• cell growth

• apoptosis

• cell division

• DNA replication

Identify the correct description of prophase.

• the chromosomes are pulled apart into two sets of chromotids

• two nuclei reform around each complete set of genetic material

• spindle fibers attach to chromosomes and line them up

• the chromosomes condense and nucleus dissolves
