(Real)biology cell mitosis and meiosis test

After cell division, each daughter cell has

• a lower surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell.

• a higher surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell.

• more DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell.

• less DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell.

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

• cell division.

• metaphase

• interphase

• mitosis

An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction

• takes less time

• requires more time

  
  

• provides genetic diversity

• produces identical offspring

When during the cell cycle are chromosomes visible?

• only during interphase

• only when they are being replicated

• only during cell division

• only during the G1 phase

During which phase in the cell cycle does mitosis happen?

• G1 phase

• G2 phase

• M phase

• S phase

Which event occurs during interphase?

• The cytoplasm divides.

• Centrioles duplicate.

• Spindle fibers begin to form.

• Centromeres divide.

Which of the following is a correct statement about the events of the cell cycle?

• Little happens during the G1 and G2 phases.

• DNA replicates during cytokinesis.

• The M phase is usually the longest phase.

• Interphase consists of the G1, S, and G2 phases.
