The Cell Cycle

During this process, the nucleus of a cell divides to form two nuclei that are identical to the original cell.

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• meiosis

• mitosis

Which of these best describes what occurs during cytokinesis?

• The chromosomes are separated.

• The cell begins to divide by replicating the chromosomes.

• The cytoplasm is divided between the two new daughter cells.

During telophase, _______________________________.

• centrioles make a copy and move out of the nucleus.

• the cells forming are genetically different from the parent cell.

• chromosomes copy so both cells can have the same number of chromosomes.

• the nuclear membrane reappears and the chromosomes are at the opposite end of the cell.

In the typical cell cycle, DNA synthesis occurs in the _________ phase.

• S

• G2

• G1

• H6

Cytokinesis is different between animal cells and plant cells. Animal cells form a furrow and plant cells form a _____________________.

• cell wall

• cell plate

• cell membrane

• great divide

The purpose of interphase is to,

• prepare the cell for mitosis.

• divide the cell into two daughter cells.

• divide the nucleus and the sister chromatids.

• provide the cell with the energy needed to divide.
