Mitosis & Meiosis Test

Academic integrity means that a student’s behavior is ethical and their work is their own. Acts of academic dishonesty are serious violations of the trust necessary for a productive educational experience.

ONLY the following resources are approved for use during this assessment:

Your own handwritten or typed notes

I understand that use of outside assistance or materials (including google, friends, books, or any other unapproved materials) would be a violation of the Oregon High School Academic Integrity policy and appropriate academic and behavioral consequences may apply.

Your full name typed below serves as your “signature” and acknowledgment of the academic integrity expectations for this assessment.

The main function of mitosis is to produce

• Mutations

• Body Cells

• Sex Cells

• Cytoplasm

At the end of mitosis:

• Two daughter cells are produced from one original cell

• The number of chromosomes is reduced by half

• Sperm and egg cells are produced

• The cells merge to create one cell

Which lists the correct stages of mitosis in order?

• Prophase, telophase, anaphase, interphase, metaphase

• Interphase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase, prophase

• Prophase, metaphase, interphase, anaphase, telophase

• Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Cells copy their chromosomes during which phase?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

Centromeres are

• the tips of a chromosome

• The middle of a chromosome where the spindle fibers attach

• Two identical parts of a chromosome

• DNA that is unwound and not condensed

Which term describes the cell part which attaches to the centromere and pulls chromosomes apart?

• Spindle fibers

• Nuclear membrane

• Chromatin

• Chromatids

The two identical parts to a chromosome are called

• Cytokinesis

• Chromatin

• Centromeres

• Chromatids

The term "cell cycle" describes

• How mitosis doesn't end with the last phase - it loops back to the beginning and continues

• Interphase through telophase only

• How there is unequal division of cytoplasm during egg cell formation

• How cells are able to ride a bike

Which type of cell division produces sperm cells?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Both Mitosis & Meiosis
