Cell Division Review

Compared to the amount of chromosomes in a human body cell, how many chromosomes are contained in a sex cell?

• 1/4 the amount

• 1/2 the amount

• the same amount

• 2 times the amount

What process in humans results in the production of gametes?

• meiosis

• fertilization

• zygote

• mitosis

Which type of cell division is responsible for the repair of your skin following a sunburn?

• neither mitosis or meiosis

• both mitosis and meiosis

• mitosis

• meiosis

How many chromosomes would you find in a human gamete cell?

• 92

• 46

• 23

• 12

Which of the following is NOT associated with mitosis?

• Production of egg and sperm cells

• Repair of a cut

• Growth of a fetus in the womb

• Growth in the height of a child

Binary fission in bacteria is similar to mitosis in eukaryotic cells because both:

• Produce two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell.

• Produce gametes.

• Produce cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

• Are forms of sexual reproduction.

Crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis increases:

• The number of gametes produced

• Genetic variation

• Cancerous growths

• The amount of evil cells

Which of the following cells is produced through meiosis?

• Sperm cells

• Skin cells

• Bacteria cells

• Liver cells

How do healthy cells differ from cancer cells?

• Cancer cells are bigger than ordinary cells.

• Cancer cells reproduce at much faster rates than healthy cells.

• Cancer cells contain viruses and bacteria that aren't present in healthy cells.

• Cancer cells divide - healthy cells do not.

Which process produces two daughter cells identical to the parent cell?

• Mitosis only

• Both mitosis and meiosis

• Meiosis only
