Cell Cycle, Mitosis & Meiosis

Cells go through mitosis for... (choose all that apply)

• Growth

• Replacement of dying cells

• Repair of damaged cells

• Energy

The G1, S, and G2 are parts of which phase of the cell cycle?

• Prophase

• Interphase

• Telophase

• Anaphase

What is apoptosis?

• Programmed cell death (cell suicide) to prevent the spread of mutated/cancerous cells.

• A type of cell division done by most of your body cells.

• The final separation into two daughter cells and completion of the cell cycle.

• Sperm and egg cells.

The replication of DNA is being affected in a cell, which phase is responsible for this change?

• G₁

• S phase

• G₂

• Mitosis

What is cancer?

• A polypeptide

• Regular cell growth

• Controlled cell division

• Unregulated cell growth and division

During which phase are the chromosomes pulled away to opposite poles?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Daughter cells created by mitosis have

• half of the parents genetic material

• twice the parent cell's genetic material

• an exact copy of the parent cell

• have a brand new DNA structure

Which phase is shown here?

• anaphase

• telolphase

• metaphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• prophase

• anaphase

• telophase

Why is the metaphase important?

• The DNA gets copied and the cell grows and develops

• The DNA lines up so exact copies can be pulled to each side

• The nuclear membrane disappears and the spindle fibers appear

• Two identical daughter cells are formed
