Cell Reproduction Test

(LT2) Which of the following happens when a cell divides during mitosis?

• The cell’s volume increases.

• It becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients.

• The cell has DNA overload.

• Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell’s DNA.

(LT2) During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?

• prophase

• telophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

(LT2) Which of the following represents the phases of mitosis in their proper sequence?

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• interphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis

(LT6) During normal mitosis, a parent cell having four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing

• two chromosomes.

• four chromosomes.

• eight chromosomes.

• sixteen chromosomes.

(LT6) If an organism’s diploid number is 12, its haploid number is

• 12

• 6

• 24

• 3

(LT6) Gametes have

• homologous chromosomes.

• twice the number of chromosomes found in body cells.

• two sets of chromosomes.

• one set of chromosomes.

(LT6) Gametes are produced by the process of

• mitosis

• meiosis

• crossing over

• replication

(LT4) What is shown in Figure 11-3?

• independent assortment

• anaphase I of meiosis

• crossing-over

• replication

(LT6) As a result of the event occurring in the Figure 11-3, what will the resulting offspring be like?

• diploid

• genetically unique

• genetically identical

• haploid

(LT4) Crossing over occurs during

• prophase of meiosis I.

• metaphase of meiosis I.

• interphase

• anaphase of meiosis II.
