Biology Semester Exam

The cell cycle refers to

• a regular pattern of growth that occurs in cells.

• the process that divides the cell cytoplasm

• the process by which a cell synthesizes glucose

• a long continuous thread of DNA

The division of a cell's nucleus and its contents is called

• cytokinesis

• centromeres

• Mitosis

• mitochondria

The process that divides the cell's cytoplasm is

• chloroplast

• mitosis

• meiosis

• cytokinesis

The cell's chromosome is

• a membrane surrounding the nucleus

• a long continuous thread of DNA

• an organelle that produces ATP

• an organelle that produces glucose

One half of a duplicated, condensed chromosome is

• spindle fiber

• telomere

• centromere

• a chromatid

The phase of interphase where the cell grows and the organelles multiply is

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• cytokinesis

The phase of interphase where the cell duplicates the DNA is called

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• Cytokinesis

The phase of interphase where the cell synthesizes protein and prepares for mitosis is called

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• Cytokinesis

The first phases of mitosis is

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

The second phase of mitosis is

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase
